BEAUTIFUL NOW Golden Bird, Sleepless for warbling, Sits in the warm dark beneath my eyelids. Golden Bird, Golden Bird, my soul, When you were a maiden in the evening in the starlight, And I brushed your lips with adoring, The dark was like light about us, Like gliding shuttles of golden light . . . 5 What could I do, Beautiful, But take you deep in the folds of my ghost Where you sang all night long? O Golden Bird, Sleepless for warbling, You are sitting behind shut eyes in the warm dark. 488
