| 154. Winged Words |
| | | By Robert Crawford |
| |
| |
| THE WINGÈD words, they pass | |
| Still everywhere, | |
| Seeds of the spirit-grass | |
| The dream-winds bear | |
| From that heart-field to this, | 5 |
| Where thought as feeling is; | |
| There’s not a seed will miss | |
| Life, once sown there. | |
| |
| They pass, the faery words, | |
| In shade and shine, | 10 |
| As they were magic birds | |
| This heart of mine | |
| Gave shape and colour to, | |
| As in the light and dew | |
| The primal creatures grew | 15 |
| From germs divine. | |
