To Ivy Day.'
"The sinuous roads were weary
to my feet,
A livid sky hung full of darkest
fear.
Of far-flung hopes dimly re
motely dear,
But in the air your joyous songs
were sweet.
I saw your cool, dark wisdom
folding you;
Above our transient life you
seemed to stand.
I watched the moments in the
flowing sand
Live quickly then at surely
pats from view.
A questing tong: that it our
dream of life
We find in that tweet lovelinett
of yourt.
And our unsated thirst your
beauty curet.
Your tranquil evening ends our
year of ttrife.
Wrapped li remembering to
dote at hand
I sigh my eyes are blinded
where I ttand.'
