I LEAN SUNWARD, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I lean sunward all the year
Last Line: To the light behind the sun!
Subject(s): Sun; Trees


I LEAN sunward all the year, --
Copses green or copses sere,
Time of rose or time of rime,
Tree-toad chirp or cricket-chime!

I lean sunward; in my veins
Ichor runs and ardor reigns,
Lifting me, upon my course,
Toward light's elemental source.

I lean sunward; may there be
Something that shall buoyance me,
When life's varied race be run,
To the Light behind the sun!
