Couplets

Leonora Speyer

Forest Fires
SUMMER is burning! From trees’ red crown

Ashes of June pour hotly down.

Night of Stars
They crowded round me more and more;

I had to shove to shut the door.

Ascent
Mountains take too much time.

Start at the top and climb.

Reproach
You gave me wings to fly;

Then took away my sky.

Down to the Heights
In the deep valleys, and deeper still,

I found my heights … against my will.
