A Poem for Aviators	A
	-
How the Wings Were Made	B
	-
From many morning glories	C
That in an hour will fade	B
From many pansy buds	D
Gathered in the shade	B
From lily of the valley	E
And dandelion buds	D
From fiery poppy buds	D
Are the Wings of the Morning made	B
	-

lt i gt lt b gt The Indian Girl Who Made Them lt i gt lt b gt	B
	-
These the Wings of the Morning	F
An Indian Maiden wove	G
Intertwining subtilely	E
Wands from a willow grove	G
Beside the Sangamon	H
Rude stream of Dreamland Town	H
She bound them to my shoulders	A
With fingers golden brown	H
The wings were part of me	E
The willow wands were hot	B
Pulses from my heart	B
Healed each bruise and spot	B
Of the morning glory buds	D
Beginning to unfold	B
Beneath her burning song of suns untold	B

lt i gt lt b gt The Indian Girl Tells the Hero Where to Go to Get the Laughing Bell lt i gt lt b gt	B
	-
'To the farthest star of all	E
Go make a moment's raid	B
To the west escape the earth	I
Before your pennons fade	B
West west o'ertake the night	B
That flees the morning sun	H
There's a path between the stars	J
A black and silent one	H
O tremble when you near	K
The smallest star that sings	L
Only the farthest star	M
Is cool for willow wings	L
	-
'There's a sky within the west	B
There's a sky beyond the skies	N
Where only one star shines	O
The Star of Laughing Bells	P
In Chaos land it lies	N
Cold as morning dew	B
A gray and tiny boat	B
Moored on Chaos shore	Q
Where nothing else can float	B
But the Wings of the Morning strong	R
And the lilt of laughing song	R
From many a ruddy throat	B
	-
'For the Tree of Laughing Bells	P
Grew from a bleeding seed	B
Planted mid enchantment	B
Played on a harp and reed	B
Darkness was the harp	S
Chaos wind the reed	B
The fruit of the tree is a bell blood red	B
The seed was the heart of a fairy dead	B
Part of the bells of the Laughing Tree	E
Fell to day at a blast from the reed	B
Bring a fallen bell to me	E
Go ' the maiden said	B
'For the bell will quench our memory	E
Our hope	T
Our borrowed sorrow	U
We will have no thirst for yesterday	B
No thought for to morrow '	-

lt i gt lt b gt The Journey Starts Swiftly lt i gt lt b gt	B
	-
A thousand times ten thousand times	V
More swift than the sun's swift light	B
Were the Morning Wings in their flight	B
On On	H
West of the Universe	W
Thro' the West	B
To Chaos night	B

lt i gt lt b gt He Nears the Goal lt i gt lt b gt	B
	-
How the red bells rang	X
As I neared the Chaos shore	Q
As I flew across to the end of the West	B
The young bells rang and rang	X
Above the Chaos roar	Q
And the Wings of the Morning	F
Beat in tune	H
And bore me like a bird along	R
And the nearing star turned to a moon	H
Gray moon with a brow of red	B
Gray moon with a golden song	R
	-
Like a diver after pearls	Y
I plunged to that stifling floor	Q
It was wide as a giant's wheat field	B
An icy wind washed shore	Q
O laughing proud but trembling star	M
O wind that wounded sore	Q
	-

lt i gt lt b gt He Climbs the Hill Where the Tree Grows lt b gt lt i gt	B
	-
On	H
Thro' the gleaming gray	B
I ran to the storm and clang	X
To the red red hill where the great tree swayed	B
And scattered bells like autumn leaves	Z
How the red bells rang	X
My breath within my breast	B
Was held like a diver's breath	A2
The leaves were tangled locks of gray	B
The boughs of the tree were white and gray	B
Shaped like scythes of Death	A2
The boughs of the tree would sweep and sway	B
Sway like scythes of Death	A2
But it was beautiful	E
I knew that all was well	E
	-
A thousand bells from a thousand boughs	B2
Each moment bloomed and fell	E
On the hill of the wind swept tree	E
There were no bells asleep	C2
They sang beneath my trailing wings	L
Like rivers sweet and steep	C2
Deep rock clefts before my feet	B
Mighty chimes did keep	C2
And little choirs did keep	C2

lt i gt lt b gt He Receives the Bells lt i gt lt b gt	B
	-
Honeyed small and fair	D2
Like flowers in flowery lands	E2
Like little maidens' hands	E2
Two bells fell in my hair	D2
Two bells caressed my hair	D2
I pressed them to my purple lips	F2
In the strangling Chaos air	D2
	-

lt i gt lt b gt He Starts on the Return Journey lt i gt lt b gt	B
	-
On desperate wings and strong	R
Two bells within my breast	B
I breathed again I breathed again	H
West of the Universe	W
West of the skies of the West	B
Into the black toward home	G2
And never a star in sight	B
By Faith that is blind I took my way	B
With my two bosomed blossoms gay	B
Till a speck in the East was the Milky way	B
Till starlit was the night	B
And the bells had quenched all memory	E
All hope	T
All borrowed sorrow	U
I had no thirst for yesterday	B
No thought for to morrow	U
Like hearts within my breast	B
The bells would throb to me	E
And drown the siren stars	J
That sang enticingly	E
My heart became a bell	E
Three bells were in my breast	B
Three hearts to comfort me	E
We reached the daytime happily	E
We reached the earth with glee	E
In an hour in an hour it was done	H
The wings in their morning flight	B
Were a thousand times ten thousand times	V
More swift than beams of light	B

lt i gt lt b gt He Gives What He Won to the Indian Girl lt i gt lt b gt	B
	-
I panted in the grassy wood	B
I kissed the Indian Maid	B
As she took my wings from me	E
With all the grace I could	B
I gave two throbbing bells to her	H2
From the foot of the Laughing Tree	E
And one she pressed to her golden breast	B
And one gave back to me	E
	-
From Lilies of the valley	E
See them fade	B
From poppy blooms all frayed	B
From dandelions gray with care	D2
From pansy faces worn and torn	H
From morning glories	C
See them fade	B
From all things fragile faint and fair	D2
Are the Wings of the Morning made	B
