SONG, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Toward your scented garden, sweet
Last Line: With love's own wings.


TOWARD your scented garden, Sweet,
Would flutter all my linkéd words,
If with soft wings my rhymes might beat
The air like birds.

Like sparks along an airy path
Your happy home they'd haste to find,
Had they but wings for flight as hath
The wingéd mind.

By night, by day, still true to you,
They'd fly with eager winnowings,
If but my limping verses flew
With Love's own wings.
