Old Ghosts
By Maud E. Uschold
Loudly the wind laments an ancient pain,
And stirs to flight old dreams like stars a-wing,
Until through shivered silence voices sing
Sun melodies and threnodies of rain.
And then all long-forgotten ghosts return,
Armed with the grievous talons of old wo,
To seek the blossoms scattered long ago
On graves to which their wandering footsteps yearn.
