SOUL AT PLAY, by                    
First Line: I like to walk with stately thoughts
Last Line: For wider journeyings.
Subject(s): Soul


I like to walk with stately thoughts
Along a bordered path,
Watching the pageant of my mood
In sunset's aftermath.

I like to go with melody
And braid a simple song,
A song that's but a heart-width wide
And but a dream-length long.

I like to hurry with the rain
Over an April hill,
Feeling the drowsy dead arouse
And quicken at our will.

I like to lay me down at night
And think upon these things,
Before my spirit mounts a dream
For wider journeyings.
