About This Book

A collection of short lyrical poems that weave mythic and religious imagery with intimate observations of nature and interior feeling. Many pieces draw on classical figures and Renaissance art, while others reflect domestic scenes, sleep, music, and sacrament; recurrent motifs include night and light, birds, water, and ritual. Voice shifts between contemplative reverie and pastoral detail, exploring longing, faith, and creative impulse. The sequence moves through imagistic vignettes—moonlit meadows, bathing maidens, sacramental harvests, and dreams—linking private emotion to larger spiritual and mythical resonances.

AT EVENTIDE

I shall light the candle, You will play for me In the winter twilight A quiet melody.
Let there be no sorrow In your song, or tears, Let all grief be ended, All the iron years.
Set our love to music, Like a rose in June, All the summer’s beauty In one slender tune.
