by Clark Ashton Smith (1893 - 1961)
The Morning Pool
Language: English
All night the pool held mysteries, Vague depths of night that lay in dream, Where phantoms of the pale-white stars Wandered, with darkness-tangled gleam. And now it holds the limpid light And shadeless azure of the skies, Wherein, like some enclaspèd gem, The morning's golden glamour lies.
