SUNSET ON THE SPIRE

Elinor Wylie

All that I dream By day or night Lives in that stream Of lovely light.

Here is the earth, And there is the spire; This is my hearth, And that is my fire.

From the sun's dome I am shouted proof That this is my home, And that is my roof.

Here is my food, And here is my drink, And I am wooed From the moon's brink.

And the days go over, And the nights end; Here is my lover, Here is my friend.

All that I Could ever ask Wears that sky Like a thin gold mask.
