Song

By Nelson Antrim Crawford


From “Fragilities” THESE are the words of the wind:
Over your white body shall pass
Whorls of water, whorls of light,
Of the lustre of blown glass.
These are the words of the wind.	5

You are beloved of the silence
And the grey still rain.
Once the sun loved you utterly,
And shall love you again.

These are the words of the wind:	10
Over your white body shall pass
Whorls of water, whorls of light,
Of the lustre of blown glass.
These are the words of the wind.
