WHEN CLOUDS HAVE LEFT THE SKY


LONG deathly silent sky

Shrill with star-jets that gleam

For the life ward yearning eye

Weary of false dream—


A dream that Love the lord

Long long ago was slain,

When Chaos and leasing's horde

Began their reign.


Light's welkin, star-befriended,

Swiftly your banner spread ;

Love's banishment is ended,

He was not dead.


September 20, 1934.
