I LOVE to walk against the yellow light,The lemon-yellow of the first daylight,When cold and clear above the frozen earthThe white sun rises far down to the right.
And then to think of life is very sweet;The shackles fall and drop about one's feet;Till in the clear forgetfulness of mornIt seems the world and life are all complete.
descriptionPage 13
'T is good to be forgotten and forget;To look upon the sun and so begetA golden present, and a past that's free,A little time, of memory and regret.
And when one strikes and stumbles on a stone,And turns to find the wingèd fancies flown —Yet through the passages of life that dayWill run a radiance other than its own.
