For Eager Lovers (Taggard collection)/Forever Lost
FOREVER LOST
Forever lost—like birds forever flying,
Searching bleak space,
Circling, and with the south wind crying
Across earth's face:
Searching bleak space,
Circling, and with the south wind crying
Across earth's face:
Arrowed I fly, and like them lost forever,
Having once seen
Scarlet in a jungle, by a deep river—
Scarlet and green.
