hinarising

Somewhere the stars are out,

Sweet perfume of summer’s earth

Still warm from sky’s blazing eye

Envelops deepening shadows of the night,

And holds her close.

Somewhere hungry flames lap at her heart

A leaping fire once lost to

furious days spewing

Sleepless nights,

And tireless days tapping time

So far away,

And now the scent of wood,

And heat, and blossoms in the sun,

Gather under a starry dome.
