TO A HYACINTH SONG by VIRGINIA STAIT

First Line: IT CAPTURED ME BEYOND THE COLOR'S RIOT
Last Line: AND I AM UNCONFESSED!
Subject(s): HYACINTHS;
It captured me beyond the color's riot,
The chime and clash
Of crimsons, and beyond the petalled quiet
Of ash to its own ash.

It was a spray of white for me to borrow,
A thought's cool rest,
When a high noon knows but a fevered morrow,
And I am unconfessed!
