ANSWER TO A TIMID LOVER, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: These shall be my songs to you
Last Line: Lest you be stricken down with fear!
Alternate Author Name(s): Gilkyson, Walter, Mrs.
Subject(s): Fear; Nature


These shall be my songs to you:
Water running up a hill,
Stones singing as birds do,
Rain falling hot and shrill,

Black flames burning high,
Wind clouds changless and at rest,
Sun that sets in the eastern sky
And rises in the west!

You may know by these things
I am coming and very near;
Then hide! hide when the first stone sings,
Lest you be stricken down with fear!
