WHITIANGA RIVER
Into my heart Sweet music steals tonight . . . And memory takes me back to quiet banks To watch the shining afterlight Caress einchanted water— Blue and jade and malachite. From storied hills comes drifting down Soft faerie music borne on wings of silver mist. The birds are hushed, the woods are dark And still; and the whispering tide, And the mists, and the music, are indeed a part 'Of me, and secret dreams . • • Your voice Is sad tonight — but oh, so sweet, Whitianga, remembered river of my heart! Taranaki. —Averil Lowden.
