OLWEN
WARD.
SONG .
I
OVE
with
light
step
passes ,
And
returns not ever
As
wind
among
the grasses,
As wind
upon
a river .
The
grasses
lean
and
listen
Where the wind
has beckoned ,
Stoop
and
sway
and
glisten
For
a
fleeting
second .
Only
one, in
token
Of that
light-foot
lover,
Only
one is
broken
And
the
rest
recover.
So Love
comes and
passes ,
As the
wind
comes ,
shaking
Lightly many grasses,
And
one
only
breaking .
