Henry David Thoreau - Light-Winged SmokeHenry David Thoreau - Light-Winged Smoke
Work rating: Low


LIGHT-WINGED Smoke, Icarian bird,             Melting thy pinions in thy upward flight,             Lark without song, and the messenger of dawn,             Circling above the hamlets as thy nest;             Or else, departing dream, and shadowy form             Of midnight vision, gathering up thy skirts;             By night star-veiling, and by day             Darkening the light and blotting out the sun;             Go thou my incense upward from this hearth,             And ask the gods to pardon this clear flame.
