Excerpt from The Heavenly DykesBrushed by the Wings and the Winds of the heavenly ocean, Banking the billows of song, the azure ¿oods of the air, Where sun-tides, ebbing With lingering motion, Wash thitherward pink-lidded cloud - Shells, there Rise the Heavenly Dykes, the Skyey dykes, The tree - dykes, leafy and fair.Oh, brown - grey tree - trunks laid deep in the turf Of the low-lying, motherly Island of Earth! Above and above, I can hear, I can see Leaf upon leaf, uncurling, ¿ung free At the fathomless port of a fathomless sea.Spirit of Spring, Whose swift fingers ¿ashing in gladness Builded the tree-dykes, thy secret is told: Fears lest the earth-heart be smitten With mad ness For the ¿ash of the sun - surf, the ¿ood-tides of gold. Yet see! Sweet Spirit, the little pale buds Are shyly clinging the brown branches to, See! The delicate chinks of the Skyey dykes Are letting the blue, blue sky - waters through.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
