The Indian Girl Who Made Them (Comes after: The Tree of Laughing Bells, or The Wings of the Morning)

Topics: classic

These, the Wings of the Morning,         An Indian Maiden wove,         Intertwining subtilely         Wands from a willow grove         Beside the Sangamon -         Rude stream of Dreamland Town.         She bound them to my shoulders         With fingers golden-brown.         The wings were part of me;         The willow-wands were hot.         Pulses from my heart         Healed each bruise and spot         Of the morning-glory buds,         Beginning to unfold         Beneath her burning song of suns untold.
