To Tenderest Purity

      O' sweetest girl of a laughter returning,
      Entrance me in your tides of gold.
      I no longer sleep, but ride radiantly
      In the basks of your eternal glow;
5     The chancing ember of thy tenderest eye
      Splashes riving valiance unto my soul,
      My heart swelling within all this magnitude.
      The lucent omen of our invisible respire
      Descends upon each unseen dream, awaiting
10    Its birth upon this solitary scheme
      As cool airs crowd in renewed immensities
      Deigning majesty to every spirit's trespass
      And spinning existences of inceptive winds
      Like some itinerant beating of angel's breath.  
15    Daniel B. Dermond
