THE SECRET DOVE
BY ZONA GALE
I KNOW where a dove sits brooding in the dark,
Nested in leaves, the quiet boughs among;
And when the midnight falls I lean to mark
Her home, where a great star is hung.
The star, it does not know the secret dove,
The dove that firefly planet may not see.
What lovelier things the night may fold from me --
The watching eye, the brooding heart, and love.
