WHITE SLUMBER

Who has come to that farthest island

Beyond White Gull Bay?

There is a little tent among the birches

Since yesterday.

Those birches are the palest things

Even in the morning sun!

Among them the tent has suddenly blossomed,

As the white flower of a night-blooming cereus,

Silently, deep in some forest of sleep,

Might have done.

Who are they? What dreams must be theirs,

Who have found such a magical camp unawares?
