Poems by Women

Invocation

Clara Shanafelt

O Glass-Blower of time,
 Hast blown all shapes at thy fire?
Canst thou no lovelier bell,
 No clearer bubble, clear as delight, inflate me --
Worthy to hold such wine
 As was never yet trod from the grape,
Since the stars shed their light, since the moon
 Troubled the night with her beauty?

 

From: Rittenhouse, Jessie B.
The Second Book of Modern Verse (1919).
