108. Aspiration

Sing to me, oh midnight wind,
     of angel-soft breezes
          kissing the shore
And I shall fall to my knees
     with trembling hand
          at my brow.
From somber ashes
     there grows a rose
          with petals sweet as moonlight.
Her calling is my breath;
     her words I caress with mine;
          tears from Heaven’s above.
