Or rush of feathers winging....

Dost thou fear death as I? Ah no, but thy lips are against my cheek

Murmuring tenderly

The perfumed lies stolen from spring that wistfully through the bleak

Windows of frost so slenderly

Steals her little ghost's flute. Thou tellest of things that might be

If life were as kind as a lover,

If we were beloved of the world and the world of we.

Thy white words hover

Dove-like in rose leaf evenings over the nest
