THE WIND'S WORD

Cale Young Rice

A star that I love, The sea, and I, Spake together across the night. “Have peace,” said the star,

“Have power,” said the sea; “Yea!” I answered, “and Fame's delight!” The wind on his way To Araby

Paused and listened and sighed and said, “I passed on the sands A Pharaoh's tomb: All these did he have — and he is dead.”
