Madness

By Haniel Long


From “On the Road” THE NIGHT came softly to the sea;
And they, the seven stars, to me.

The sea, the seven stars, and I
Gave an involuntary cry.

It echoed in the hills, and went	5
The ways of old bewilderment.

And I alone the reason knew,
And I had told it then to you,

But stars are strange, the sea is deep,
And you were lovely in your sleep.	10
