| | | I AM one of the wind’s stories, | |
| I am a fancy of the rain, | |
| A memory of the high moon’s glories, | |
| The hint the sunset had of pain. | |
| |
| They dreamed me as they dreamed all other— | 5 |
| Hawthorn and I, I and the grass; | |
| With sister shade and phantom brother | |
| Across their sleep I glide and pass. | |
| |
| Twilight is in my blood; my being | |
| Mingles with trees and ferns and stones; | 10 |
| Thunder and stars my lips are freeing, | |
| And there is sea-rack in my bones. | |
| |
| Those that have dreamed me shall out-wake me, | |
| But I go hence with flowers and weeds; | |
| I am no more to those who make me | 15 |
| Than other drifting fruit and seeds. | |
| |
| And though I love them, mourn to leave them— | |
| Sea, earth and sunset, stars and streams— | |
| My tears, my passing do not grieve them … | |
| Other dreams have they, other dreams. | 20 | | | |
