THE INTRUDER
ACROSS my book your hand augustly reaches— |
|
Thrusts it away. |
|
I turn impatient to the window, watching |
|
The tossed trees’ play, |
|
March sunshine glinting on a chilly rain-pool | |
That snow-banks frame. |
|
A lusty wind comes gusting on its errand |
|
And names your name. |
|
|
Captive, defeated, having striven I yield me |
|
To thought awhile; | |
Letting the sunlight on the roughened waters |
|
Bear me your smile; |
|
Hearing the mischief-making wind that named you |
|
Question afresh |
|
If spirit find in spirit full contentment | |
Only through flesh.
Grace Stone Coates
( eloquent voice from Montana circa 1921 )
