No words to cover:
Soft linen, trailing silk of phrase
To deck the pampered song;
Fine feathers to the wing
For deft adventuring
Ecstatic ways
Along.
Soft linen, trailing silk of phrase
To deck the pampered song;
Fine feathers to the wing
For deft adventuring
Ecstatic ways
Along.
No many-colored coat of precious words!
Rather to dare
A stark undress,
Wear but a crying nakedness,
Venture the bright discomfort
Of a word that strips—
The startled candor of the heart
Bare on the vehement lips.
