by James Stephens (1882 - 1950)
Out and away
Language: English
Silvery-black, and silvery-blue, Delicate, dainty, silvery shoe, We are as young and as old as you. Without, apart, afar, you climb, Haunting the gulfs and the deeps of time ; What do you hunt, without reason or rhyme ? Me, and he, and she, and thee, Lending each other our mystery ; Always the One, wherever we be. Silvery-black, and silvery-blue, Delicate, dainty, silvery shoe, We are as young and as old as you.
