Don Marquis


Ceased like an exquisite lyric That dies on the breast of night.	1
Flit like blown feathers.	2
Flocked to his call Like sprites that necromancy Of a Prospero holds in thrall.	3
Glimmer like a butterfly.	4
Moaned like some stricken thing … strangled with its own despair.	5
They pass Like a breath from the face of a glass.	6
