Once More

Mason A. Freeman, Jr.

ONCE more I strip my shroud from me,

Once more unfurl my azure wings,

Pursue athwart the reeling suns

An ever-dancing star that sings

Of madder joys than I have dreamed,

And fiercer griefs than I have borne:

Yet would I burn between her breasts

Behind the curtains of the morn!
