 LightWinged Smoke 
Lightwinged Smoke, Icarian bird, 
Melting thy pinions in thy upward flight, 
Lark without song, and the messenger of dawn, 
Circling above the hamlets as thy nest; 
Or else, departing dream, and shadowy form 
Of midnight vision, gathering up thy skirts; 
By night star-veiling, and by day 
Darkening the light and blotting out the sun; 
Go thou my incense upward from this hearth, 
And ask the gods to pardon this clear flame.
