Maxioms by John Vance Cheney
I question not if thrushes sing,
If roses load the air;
Beyond my heart I need not read more
I question not if thrushes sing,
If roses load the air;
Beyond my heart I need not reach
When all is summer there.
We look through gloom and storm-drift
Beyond the years:
The soul would have no rainbow

We look through gloom and storm-drift
Beyond the years:
The soul would have no rainbow
Hard the eyes no tears.
A breath, whence no man knows,
Swaying the grating weeds, it blows;
It comes, it grieves, it read more
A breath, whence no man knows,
Swaying the grating weeds, it blows;
It comes, it grieves, it goes.
Once it rocked the summer rose.
I pour into the world the eternal streams
Wan prophets tent beside, and dream their dreams.
I pour into the world the eternal streams
Wan prophets tent beside, and dream their dreams.
The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears.
The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears.
