In Praise Of Gloriana's Remarkable Golden Hair (rhyme For Gloriana)
The gleaming head of one fine friendIs bent above my little song,
So through the treasure-pits of Heaven
In fancy's shoes, I march along.
I wander, seek and peer and ponder
In Splendor's last ensnaring lair--
'Mid burnished harps and burnished crowns
Where noble chariots gleam and flare:
Amid the spirit-coins and gems,
The plates and cups and helms of fire--
The gorgeous-treasure-pits of Heaven--
Where angel-misers slake desire!
O endless treasure-pits of gold
Where silly angel-men make mirth--
I think that I am there this hour,
Though walking in the ways of earth!
(The end)

Girl with the burning golden eyes, And red-bird song, and snowy throat: I bring you gold and silver moons And diamond stars, and mists that float. I bring you moons and snowy clouds, I bring you prairie skies to-night To feebly praise your golden eyes And red-bird song, and throat so white.(The end)Vachel Lindsay's poem: Once More--To Gloriana

Your pen needs but a ruffle To be Pavlova whirling. It surely is a scalawag A-scamping down the page. A pretty little May-wind The morning buds uncurling. And then the white sweet Russian, The dancer of the age. Your pen's the Queen of Sheba, Such serious questions bringing, That merry rascal Solomon Would show a sober face:-- And then again Pavlova To set our spirits singing, The snowy-swan bacchante All glamour,
On Receiving One Of Gloriana's Letters (rhyme For Gloriana)
