Poem by Mathilde Blind

Delight

FLEETER than a tone scarce born
            That melts away,
Sweeter than a dream of morn
            That shuns the day,
Swifter than a rainbow fading out of sight:
Sucked away as dewdrops by the burning light;
Or like birds or blossoms, takest thou thy flight--
Sunbeam of delight.

1. Song (Thou walkest with me as the spirit-light)
2. Apple-Blossom
3. Song (I am athirst, but not for wine)
4. In Spring
5. A Highland Village
