THE LILTING WORD MUST CONFINE ITSELF TO CORNERS

 

 

THE LILTING WORD MUST CONFINE ITSELF TO CORNERS

The lilting word must confine itself to corners

Never the Light said in any storybook

Let it be scattered like gold across many waters

Let it unfold all roses, lilies, all things bright

We have garnered or stumbled on at greatest need

Never did the lilting word

Forsake the beauteous creed.

Let blue smoke from the chimney

In the picture of the schoolchildren

Billow and billow.

The shutters be green as green.
