Augusta Davies Webster - Seeds with wings, between earth and sky

Описание

Seeds with wings, between earth and sky Fluttering, flying; Seeds of a lily with blood-red core Breathing of myrrh and of giroflore: Where winds drop them there must they lie, Living or dying. Some to the garden, some to the wall, Fluttering, falling; Some to the river, some to earth: Those that reach the right soil get birth; None of the rest have lived at all.— Whose voice is calling: 'Here is soil for winged seeds that near, Fluttering, fearing, Where they shall root and burgeon and spread. Lacking the heart-room the song lies dead: Half is the song that reaches the ear, Half is the hearing '? Augusta Davies Webster poemhunter.com/poem/seeds-with-wings-between-earth-and-sky/
