The Storm
 
G. O. Warren
 
 
SHE reached for sunset fires,
And lived with stars and the sea,
The mountains for her temple,
The storm for priest had she.
 
Together a libation        5
They poured to the God she knew,
Such wine as ageless heavens
And lonely wisdom brew.
 
Now she has done with worship,
For her all rites are the same;        10
Yet the storm keeps green forever
The moss upon her name.
