Flame and Shadow(4)

Meadowlarks

    In the silver light after a storm, Under dripping boughs of bright new green, I take the low path to hear the meadowlarks Alone and high-hearted as if I were a queen.

    What have I to fear in life or death Who have known three things： the kiss in the night, The white flying joy when a song is born, And meadowlarks whistling in silver light.
