I WANDERED WHERE THE WONDER OF THE SKY

by: Zona Gale (1874-1938)

      WANDERED where the wonder of the sky
      Was wide upon me. Isle beyond isle the east
      Was signing that the Summer night had ceased
      Upon the dawn. Then came a stranger by
      Immersed in the magic as was I.
      We stood together at the sorcerer's feast
      Saying half-words; and as the day increased
      We parted with a farewell almost shy.
       
      Something was there. There was drawn silently
      Through into life some fiery, clouded thing.
      O wise
      For one sweet flash of time we stood to see
      Death and the Inbeing
      Lie dreaming in each other's eyes.

"I Wandered Where the Wonder of the Sky" is reprinted from The Secret Way. Zona Gale. New York: Macmillan Co., 1921.
