Duncan Campbell Scott - The ApparitionDuncan Campbell Scott - The Apparition
Work rating: Low


Gentle angel with your mantle,   All of tender green, I was yearning for a vision   Of the life unseen. When you hovered in the sunset,   Just as rain was done; Where the dropping from the poplars   Seemed like rain begun. There you gathered forming slowly   Rounding into view: All your vesture glowed like verdure   When the sap is new. Then you mutely gave your warning   And I felt the stress Of its passion and its presage   And its utterness. There you swayed one tranquil moment,   Mystically fair, Then you were not of the sunset,   Were not in the air.
