Song

Nelson Antrim Crawford

From “Fragilities”

THESE are the words of the wind:

Over your white body shall pass

Whorls of water, whorls of light,

Of the lustre of blown glass.

These are the words of the wind.

You are beloved of the silence

And the grey still rain.

Once the sun loved you utterly,

And shall love you again.

These are the words of the wind:

Over your white body shall pass

Whorls of water, whorls of light,

Of the lustre of blown glass.

These are the words of the wind.
