Revelation
|
Someone leaping from the rocks Past me ran with wind-blown locks Like a startled bright surmise Visible to mortal eyes,– Just a cheek of frightened rose That with sudden beauty glows, Just a footstep like the wind And a hurried glance behind, And then nothing, – as a thought Escapes the mind ere it is caught. Someone of the heavenly rout From behind the veil ran out.
A Tree
A tree beside the sandy river-beach Holds up its topmost boughs Like fingers towards the skies they cannot reach, Earth-bound, heaven-amorous.
This is the soul of man. Body and brain Hungry for earth our heavenly flight detain. Page-47 |
