Anne Morrow Lindbergh Poems

Within the hollow wave there lies a world,
gleaming glass-perfect, rising to be hurled
into a thousand fragments on the sand,
...

Already I have shed the leaves of youth,
stripped by the wind of time down to the truth
of winter branches. Linear and alone
...

Here sits the Unicorn
In captivity;
His bright invulnerability
...

But how can I live without you?- she cried.

I left all the world to you when I died:
...

Burning tree upon the hill
and burning tree within my heart,
what kinship stands between the two,
...
