SHORT POEMS — 1895-1908

Revelation

Someone leaping from the rocks

Past me ran with wind-blown locks

Like a startled bright surmise

Visible to mortal eyes, —

Just a cheek of frightened rose

That with sudden beauty glows,

Just a footstep like the wind

And a hurried glance behind,

And then nothing, — as a thought

Escapes the mind ere it is caught.

Someone of the heavenly rout

From behind the veil ran out.
