George Sylvester Viereck


Blazes like a mighty sword Leaping to the fight.	1
Clasped like some strange book of sorcery.	2
Her kisses burn where they close and cling Like pain of longing or fire of hell.	3
Deep as the bottomless pit.	4
A thing as fleeting as the thin sea-foam.	5
Flickering like a flame, half choked by wind and dust.	6
Fly, Like doves before the gathering storm.	7
Pale sad faces like faint flames dying.	8
The air is thick as incense-wreaths That waver in the candles’ gleam.	9
