The Secret Splendour

  Poems


 

In the hour of death oh lonesomely

To fall on a mountain-rock

With sunset in the eye

And the wild eagle waiting above

For the flesh to die —

The last life-quiver in that flesh

An eagle about to ne born,

Waiting for the body's veil to tear

From the sky of a nameless morn!
