Poem by Alice Corbin Henderson

* * *

What dim Arcadian pastures
   Have I known
That suddenly, out of nothing,
   A wind is blown,
Lifting a veil and a darkness,
   Showing a purple sea—
And under your hair the faun’s eyes
   Look out on me?

1. The Great Air Birds Go Swiftly by
2. O World
3. From the Stone Age
4. One City Only
5. Two Voices
