DELIGHT by MATHILDE BLIND

First Line: FLEETER THAN A TONE SCARCE BORN
Last Line: SUNBEAM OF DELIGHT.
Subject(s): HAPPINESS; JOY; DELIGHT;
FLEETER than a tone scarce born
That melts away,
Sweeter than a dream of morn
That shuns the day,
Swifter than a rainbow fading out of sight:
Sucked away as dewdrops by the burning light;
Or like birds or blossoms, takest thou thy flight --
Sunbeam of delight.
