The Cloudberry.

Topics: classic

Give me no coil of dmon flowers -         Pale Messalines that faint and brood         Through the spent secret twilight hours         On their strange feasts of blood.         Give me wild things of moss and peat -         The gipsy flower that bravely goes,         The heather's little hard, brown feet,         And the black eyes of sloes.         But most of all the cloudberry         That offers in her clean, white cup         The melting snows - the cloudberry!         Where the great winds go up         To the hushed peak whose shadow fills         The air with silence calm and wide -         She lives, the Dian of the hills,         And the streams course beside.
