Augusta Davies Webster - Seeds with wings, between earth and skyAugusta Davies Webster - Seeds with wings, between earth and sky
Work rating: Low


Seeds with wings, between earth and sky Fluttering, flying;     Seeds of a lily with blood-red core     Breathing of myrrh and of giroflore: Where winds drop them there must they lie, Living or dying. Some to the garden, some to the wall, Fluttering, falling;     Some to the river, some to earth:     Those that reach the right soil get birth; None of the rest have lived at all.— Whose voice is calling: "Here is soil for winged seeds that near, Fluttering, fearing, Where they shall root and burgeon and spread.     Lacking the heart-room the song lies dead: Half is the song that reaches the ear, Half is the hearing "?
