„IF I COULD GO ."
If I could go wliere the bee goes For just one God-giveu hour. And glide through a maze of sunbeams Into the heart of a flower, What a rainbow roau v.ouiu my feet not tread V What marvel of spiral and whirl? And my feet would fall as light, as light As a butterfly brushing a wing in flight On the soft, round cheek of a girl. If I could stand for a moment With my back to a petal wall And hear my voice float back to me In an echoing lily hall, Or lie for a space in the haze of noon Twist earth and blue domed sky, And drink of oblivion's chalice deep, With the sole-eyed wraith of the poppysleep, To a wind sung lullaby. —ARTHUR HATHAWAY. Auckland.
