Poem by Lesbia Harford

* * *

I have golden shoes
To make me fleet.
They are like the wind
Underneath my feet.
When my lover's kiss
Is overbold,
I can run away
In my shoes of gold.
Nay, when I am shod
With this bright fire,
I am forced to run
From my own desire.
From the love I love
Whose arms enfold
I must run away
In my shoes of gold.

1. I can't feel the sunshine
2. You, whom the grave cannot bind
3. Closing Time: Public Library
4. He had served eighty masters. They'd have said
5. I love to see
