Romance. [Scudder Middleton]

Why should we argue with the falling dust

Or tremble in the traffic of the days?

Our hearts are music-makers in the clouds,

Our feet are running on the heavenly ways.

We'll go and find the honey of romance

Within the hollow of the sacred tree.

There is a spirit in the eastern sky,

Calling along the dawn to you and me.

She'll lead us to the forest where she hides

The yellow wine that keeps the angels young --

We are the chosen lovers of the earth

For whom alone the golden comb was hung.
