And softly steal out to the garden | B |
Under the Favrile goblet of the dawning | C |
And a wind moves out of the south land | D |
Like a film of silver | A |
And thrills with a far borne message | E |
The flowers of the garden | B |
Poppies untie their scarlet hoods and wave them | F |
To the south wind as he passes | G |
But the zinnias and calendulas | G |
In a mood of calm reserve nod faintly | H |
As the south wind whispers the secret | I |
Of the dawn hour | A |
- | |
I stand in the silence of the dawn hour | A |
In the garden | B |
As the star of morning fades | G |
Flying from scythes of air | J |
The hare bells purples and golden glow | K |
On the sand hill back of the orchard | L |
Race before the feet of the wind | M |
But clusters of oak leaves over the yellow sand rim | N |
Begin to flutter and glisten | B |
And in a moment in a twinkled passion | B |
The blazing rapiers of the sun are flashed | O |
As he fences the lilac lights of the sky | P |
And drives them up where the ice of the melting moon | Q |
Is drowned in the waste of morning | C |
- | |
- | |
- | |
In the silence of the garden | B |
At the dawn hour | A |
I turn and see you | R |
You who knew and followed | S |
You who knew the dawn hour | A |
And its sky like a Favrile goblet | I |
You who knew the south wind | M |
Bearing the secret of the morning | C |
To waking gardens fields and forests | G |
You in a gown of green O footed Iris | G |
With eyes of dryad gray | T |
And the blown glory of unawakened tresses | G |
A phantom sprung out of the garden's enchantment | U |
In the silence of the dawn hour | A |
- | |
- | |
- | |
And here I behold you | R |
Amid a trance of color silent music | V |
The embodied spirit of the morning | C |
Wind from the south land flashing beams of the sun | B |
Caught in the twinkling oak leaves | G |
Poppies who wave their untied hoods to the south wind | M |
And the imperious bows of zinnias and calendulas | G |
The star of morning drowned and lights of lilac | W |
Turned white for the woe of the moon | Q |
And the silence of the dawn hour | A |
- | |
- | |
- | |
And there to take you in my arms and feel you | R |
In the glory of the dawn hour | A |
Along the sinuous rhythm of flesh and flesh | X |
To know your spirit by that oneness | G |
Of living and of love in the twinkled passion | B |
Of life re lit and visioned | M |
In dryad eyes beholding | C |
The dancing leaping touching hands and racing | C |
Rapturous moment of the arisen sun | B |
And the first drop of day out of this cup of Favrile | K |
There to behold you | R |
Our spirits lost together | A |
In the silence of the dawn hour | A |
