O Singer! O Dancer!

By Amanda Hall


SO wonderful your fancies seem to me
And rare the revelations that you bring,
I find my hands extended wistfully
To stroke them as I would a skylark’s wing!

And then I dread the more my dim retreat	5
Where glories turn to tatters one by one.
Oh, take me where you dance with joyous feet
Along the silver highway of the sun!
