Design

Design




Shining and white, like wax beneath gold flame,



and noiseless as dew’s tread on flower-tips,



her hand brushed shadows on the moonlight’s face.



Blue night stood still, and stars stopped chattering



while loveliness communed. What wonder that



divinity is dimpled in a rose?



God’s thought in fragile beauty shaped its root,



minute perfection in each small detail



alike of woman’s hand or bud-crowned stem.
