THE NUTS OF KNOWLEDGE.
You were a wind from the land of faery When I was a reed in a pool,And all day long I dreamed as I swayed Of your coming soft and cool.
You were the star that heralds the dawn When I was a wave of the sea,And I loosed when I saw you my tresses so white And danced with a lightsome glee.
You were the golden apple that grew In the apple-garth of Bride,When I was a child with a sorrowful heart And sought you with childish greed.
You are the rainbow glory that lies In the treasure house of Fate,When I come at last to the garth of the gods And my soul holds open the gate.
