A Tale of Grave and Earnest Sudden Blush

 

Is it sunrise or some evening dusk

which begins to cast on her skin

its growing spell and diving light?

And as it spreads it gives a sign,

and the sign is there to be read—

 

and, in that sign, in a sign of love,

eyes laid on eyes may come alive

and fall ablaze—for they too

have dipped in blush that speaks

in tongues of roses’ deepest bloom

 

that sets the eyes to fountain glow

and spark and song—for he signed

this palest of all vaunted necks

with a glint that filled her through.
