86. Moonrise

By H. D.


WILL you glimmer on the sea?
Will you fling your spear-head
On the shore?
What note shall we pitch?

We have a song,	5
On the bank we share our arrows—
The loosed string tells our note:

O flight,
Bring her swiftly to our song.
She is great,	10
We measure her by the pine-trees.
