Thomas S. Jones, Jr. Song Poems
- 1. The Garden
Behind the pinions of the Seraphim,
Whose wings flame out upon the swinging spheres,
There is a Voice that speaks the numbered years
Until that Day when all comes back to Him;
... - 2. 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;
... - 3. In Excelsis
Spring!
And all our valleys turning into green,
Remembering-
As I remember! So my heart turns glad
... - 4. A Song In Spring
O little buds all bourgeoning with Spring,
You hold my winter in forgetfulness;
Without my window lilac branches swing,
Within my gate I hear a robin sing-
...
