Thomas S. Jones, Jr. Never Poems
- 1. Sanctuary
How may one hold these days of wonderment
And bind them into stillness with a thong,
Ere as a fleeting dream they pass along
Into the waste of lovely things forspent;
... - 2. Joyous-gard
Wind-washed and free, full-swept by rain and wave,
By tang of surf and thunder of the gale,
Wild be the ride yet safe the barque will sail
And past the plunging seas her harbor brave;
... - 3. In Excelsis
Spring!
And all our valleys turning into green,
Remembering-
As I remember! So my heart turns glad
...
