SUMMER - THE LAND, by                    
First Line: The land has tributes for you now
Last Line: With any drop of blotted night.
Subject(s): Nature


The land has tributes for you now,
From east and west and north and south;
For not a passion flower's bloom
But brings you kisses for your mouth;
And not a cardinal flower but tells
Of days beyond the days of drouth.

The colors lure you down the aisle,
You were so spendthrift of your light,
Now scarlet and Castilian red
Torch omens past the candles white,
And rocks flash out that are not leagued
With any drop of blotted night.
