John C. Van Dyke


Calm as at Creation’s dawn.	1
Glitter… like the bayonets of a regiment on parade.	2
Glitter … like the glass pendants of a chandelier.	3
Glow like a great pearl.	4
Holds … together as the shell does the egg.	5
The forest moans and vibrates like a vast Æolian harp.	6
Slink like spectres.	7
Slowly like the heave and roll of a glassy sea.	8
