The Vision

A little lane ‘twixt sun and shade

Where dancing shadows “catch me” play;

A little primrose-covered glade,

A little seat beside the way;

A little hand laid soft in mine

Through silence far too sweet for words

A little sigh of peace divine,

And tender songs of mating birds.

A little lull ‘mid shell and steel,

A memory of love and pain.

My heart that clinging hand can feel,

My feet run down that little lane.

-       Ella E. Walters[1]
