White Bird


WHITHER, O Bird all white, with ever increasing speed

Do you skim like an arrow of morning the Burden less Archer decreed

On its track to the infinite target as a Thought ever fain of the Deed ?


Bright though the track of the morning, huge though the target loom,

Perfect the Thought of the Thinker, yet may prevail the gloom ?

Dark be the quenching of daytide ? Arrow-tips rust in the tomb ?


O running of Light in the Silence,

O silvery morning star,

May the Dawn be the wordless answer

Of a beauty no loss can mar.


December 30, 1937.
