Frank Waters


Changeful as a lover’s hope.	1
Dark and dull like the mould upon a skull.	2
Faint as half-forgotten dreams.	3
Gone, like the summer lightning’s gleam.	4
Meandering … like a silver scarf outblown On the fluttering of the gale.	5
Moaned … like a dirge.	6
Mutters like a dim despair.	7
Passed, like a sweet but transient dream.	8
Ravenous as a prairie’s fire.	9
Evanished like a blink Of starlight ere the mind can think.	10
