" That God has laid His fingers on the sky, .
That from those fingers glittering summer runs
Upon the dancer by the dreamless wave."
[Lines in W. B. Yeats ' " THE MAN WHO DREAMED OF FAERYLAND."]
WHITE-COMBING waves from a cloudless ocean
Fall on a fairy shore :
Faint rhythm of their un shadowed motion
Beats evermore
A sorrow less dream, drugged by their magical potion,
Within Time's core.
Marble-white in the summer's glory,
Foam-toss from sea to land :
Mating their dance to a wordless story,
Joy-silent band
Of the ones whose locks can never be hoary
Pass like flame on the sand.
November 24, 1934.
