Lavender

The gently quiet murmur of the summer rain,
Falling on attic roofs,
Brings to the store of old rejected things, below
In the gabled darkened room,
The thought of youth;
As soft love-touches
On the arched and narrowed shoulders of a spinster
May recall
The failing hopes and unremembered joys.
And so on my heart,
Filled with the past’s old dusty things,
Falls now the sweet and gentle softness of your voice.
