A LITTLE SONG by REXFORD EIDSON

First Line: WANDERING OUT AMAIN
Last Line: OF WHAT WE SOUGHT.
Subject(s): FLOWERS; LOVE; ROSES; SINGING & SINGERS; SONGS;

Wandering out amain,
Out to the jetty,
Love is a rose again
Of bright confetti.

Stars that are crystal dust
Besprinkle deep heaven,
And over the earth's thin crust,
Offer sweet leaven.

Her hand is a touch of madness
Which lips may hold;
And time is love's kind sadness,
Blessed to unfold.

Again the rose is gone,
Finding a thought . . .
Blushed with the rhyme of dawn --
Of what we sought.
