Poetry

DEDICATION

Joaquin Miller


To Mother


  • And oh, the voices I have heard!
  • Such visions where the morning grows—
  • A brother's soul in some sweet bird,
  • A sister's spirit in a rose.

  • And oh, the beauty I have found!
  • Such beauty, beauty everywhere;
  • The beauty creeping on the ground.
  • The beauty singing through the air.

  • The love in all, the good, the worth.
  • The God in all, or dusk or dawn;
  • Good will to man and peace on earth;
  • The morning stars sing on and on.
