" WHITE-COMBING WAVES FROM A CLOUDLESS OCEAN"


" 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.
