THE MAGICIAN.
Life has such a subtle way Of making out of crawling things •Of forming roses out of clay; Butterflies with airy wings. Of taking tears that seemed in vain Life has such a subtle way making of them April rain; Of turning darkness into day; Of getting from a heedless after. Of bringing music, ocean-old, Echoes of dead bits of laughter; To newness of a tale untold; Of welding in a sunset sea And then, grown jealous of its trust, Lost loveliness and Imagery; Of changing roses back to dust. —Vivian Y. Laramore.
