Lola Ridge - Dispossessed

Lola Ridge - Dispossessed

Tender and tremulous green of leaves br Turned up by the wind, br Twanging among the vines - br Wind in the grass br Blowing a clear path br For the new-stripped soul to pass… br br The naked soul in the sunlight… br Like a wisp of smoke in the sunlight br On the hill-side shimmering. br br Dance light on the wind, little soul, br Like a thistle-down floating br Over the butterflies br And the lumbering bees… br br Come away from that tree br And its shadow grey as a stone… br br Bathe in the pools of light br On the hillside shimmering - br Shining and wetted and warm in the sun-spray falling like golden rain - br br But do not linger and look br At that bleak thing under the tree.
