Along the stream

Language: English

The rustling night fall strews my gown with roses,
And wine flush'd petals bring forgetfulness
Of shadow after shadow striding past.

I arise with the stars exultantly and follow
The sweep of the moon along the hushing stream,
Where no birds wake; only the far-drawn sigh
Of wary voices whispering fare well.


Input by David K. Smythe
