IN THE MEDITERRANEAN - GOING TO THE WAR, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Lovely wings of gold and green
Last Line: In my heart a newer song.
Subject(s): Mediterranean Sea; World War I; First World War


LOVELY wings of gold and green
Flit about the sounds I hear,
On my window when I lean
To the shadows cool and clear.

. . . .

Roaming, I am listening still,
Bending, listening overlong,
In my soul a steadier will,
In my heart a newer song.
