by Ella Young (1867 - 1956)
Greeting
Language: English
Over the wave-patterned sea-floor Over the long sunburnt ridge of the world, I bid the winds seek you. I bid them cry to you Night and morning A name you loved once; I bid them bring to you Dreams, and strange imaginings, and sleep.
First published in Poetry, June 1917.
