Poems By Arjava

LONG deathly silent sky

Shrill with star-jets that gleam

For the life ward yearning eye

Weary of false dream—

A dream that Love the lord

Long long ago was slain,

When Chaos and leasing's horde

Began their reign.

Light's welkin, star-befriended,

Swiftly your banner spread ;

Love's banishment is ended,

He was not dead.
