THE LOST WORLD

What hues, what dances

Do I remember

Lighter than leaves dancing

And red November?

Why does my heart whisper

Under the trees,

“There are brighter colours and lighter

Dancers than these”?

What dream more golden

In firelight hovers

Than these faces of friends

And trusty lovers?

Why does my heart whisper

In this gay peace,

“There are bolder lovers and older

Comrades than these”?

PROSE POEMS

DAWN

Arise!—Arise!

Dew, like a thousand gems, is in the hair of the dear earth eager to dance.
