Love’s Miracle

by Georgia Douglas Johnson

From Standard Ebooks · standardebooks/georgia-douglas-johnson_poetry

So like a boundless, soundless sea The miracle of love to me, With all the world a rosy dream Sailing upon a silver stream, While I, a fairy in mid-air, Am dancing, dancing everywhere.

Hark! do you hear the thunder peal? I care not what it would reveal, Tomorrow will be yesterday When I am shivering and gray:

I will not heed the prompter’s ring Let others answer, I shall sing And dance the merrier⁠—away! I’ll live and live and live⁠—today!
