Excerpt from Adventurous Love, and Other Verses Low, wind, and bear the dying thoughts of men Like yellow leaves to perish and decay. Scatter them, strip the tree of life. 0 then Bring up thy wintry gusts to play Upon its trunk and branches till it groans And turns thy breath to music. Fling Thy snowy clouds and storms until the stones About its roots are cracked and shivering. O sweep away in thy fierce hurricane The exhalations of its festered limbs And poisoned sap. Whirl on, and come again When thou hast shed thy burden. Hymns Of joy shall greet thy coming when the young Sweet thoughts do bud in the Old tree, Each thought a soul, and each soul with a tongue To sing All hail to thy dear liberty.
