PROLOGUE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Whose blood runs gay as summer's
Last Line: One of your kith and kind.
Subject(s): Blood; Hearts; Night; Bedtime


Whose blood runs gay as summer's,
Whose heart is sure and proud,
Whose days are all newcomers,
Whose nights are dream-endowed, --
Pass on, lest you should hear
Speech neither sweet nor clear.

Whose blood is slowly spilling,
Whose heart has crimson scars,
Whose days have lost their thrilling,
Whose nights have lost their stars --
Pause here and you will find
One of your kith and kind.
