Katherine Mansfield - The Awakening RiverKatherine Mansfield - The Awakening River
Work rating: Medium


The gulls are mad-in-love with the river, And the river unveils her face and smiles. In her sleep-brooding eyes they mirror their shining wings. She lies on silver pillows: the sun leans over her. He warms and warms her, he kisses and kisses her. There are sparks in her hair and she stirs in laughter. Be careful, my beautiful waking one!  You will catch           on fire. Wheeling and flying with the foam of the sea on their           breasts, The ineffable mists of the sea clinging to their wild wings, Crying the rapture of the boundless ocean, The gulls are mad-in-love with the river. Wake! we are the dream thoughts flying form your heart. Wake!  we are the songs of desire flowing from your           bosom. O, I think the sun will lend her his great wings And the river will fly to the sea with the mad-in-           love birds.
