Noons Of Poppy
Noons of poppy, noons of poppy, Scarlet leagues along the sea; Flaxen hair afloat in sunlight, Love, come down the world to me! There's a Captain I must ship with, (Heart, that day be far from now!) Wears his dark command in silence With the sea-frost on his brow. Noons of poppy, noons of poppy, Purple shadows by the sea; How should love take thought to wonder What the destined port may be? Nay, if love have joy for shipmate For a night-watch or a year, Dawn will light o'er Lonely Haven, Heart to happy heart, as here. Noons of poppy, noons of poppy, Scarlet acres by the sea Burning to the blue above them; Love, the world is full for me.
