IN THE FIRELIGHT
• ———————
They have been far, who sit with
quiet faces
On which the firelight glows this
winter night,
Selecting from their treasury of
places
Sails out of dawn, stars on a moun
tain height,
The way a steeple on an island lift
ed
Like song, a waterfall that seemed
to start
From clouds on which the dust of
gems had drifted—
They had the world and with it
filled the heart.
Or they have stayed, who sit be
fore the embers
With firelight on their faces all
their lives
On land they loved. Each one of
them remembers
Grain’s golden waves and bees
around the hives,
The tang and sweet of orchard,
mow, and bin—
They had the heart and formed a
world within.
