    Light Winged 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.
    -Henry David Thoreau-.
