CHRYSALIDS, by                    
First Line: Her gaze meets his as he looks down
Last Line: Are chrysalids of winged dreams
Subject(s): Earth;reality;socialism;streets;towns; World;avenues


HER gaze meets his as he looks down
Within the turmoil of the street;
And all the clattering of the town
Fails, and is silent at their feet.

They move to music, with the trill
Of birds where skyey orchards blow;
And far from them the winter chill,
The smoke-stained clouds, and drabbled snow.

Well lost, the granite street and walls,
The laden wains, the shouts and stirs,
In that revealing glance which falls
From his dear eyes quick into hers.

Unreal these firmly factful things:
The traffic, barter, busy schemes;
For all earth's strifes and bargainings
Are chrysalids of winged dreams.
