WHEAT AND WINE.
CLEAR, deep, and blue, the sky
Is silvered by the morn,
And where the dewdrop’s eye
Catches its brilliancy
Strange lights and hues are born :
I have seen twelve colours hover on a single spray
of thorn.
There is a great grey tower
Cut clear against the deep ;
In the sun’s wakening hour
I think it has the power
To touch the soul of sleep
With its tender thought, and bid me to awake for
joy—and weep.
This night I am earlier,
No drowsy thought drew nigh
