MYSTERY, by                    
First Line: Where does the tall sun walk at night?
Last Line: A dollar a line for this?
Subject(s): Mystery; Nature


Where does the tall sun walk at night?
Where is the frost in June?
Where, by day, do the stars take flight,
Hoarding the silver moon?

Where did the roses learn to dress
Green with a crimson hood?
Who taught the gray dove tenderness,
Hid in the fearful wood?

Where do the tired sparrows sleep
When the still dusk has come?
Who crowned the breakers of the deep
With their eternal foam?

Where did the land's last lonely marge
First take the ocean's kiss?
And where did I get the nerve to charge
A dollar a line for this?
