Sing, Silver Harp
Alice Corbin
1881 to 1949
Sing, silver harp,
With golden strings,
Awaken the memory
Of all dim things.
Golden the harmony,
Golden the strings,
Silver the harp,
And the dove's grey wings.
Music of laughing
Or sleeping or crying,
Notes that are rising
Or falling or dying
Leap into being,
And dreams are stirred,
As some dim pool
By a flitting bird;
Cloudy visions,
And memories deep,
Low as laughter,
And faint as sleep,
Shadowy faces
Known in dream,
Pass as petals
Upon a stream.
Sing, silver harp,
With golden strings,
Awaken the memory
Of all dim things.
