Spell for Me a Picture (A Poet's Greatest Pleasure)

Spell for me a picture

Form with font of ink

Morning mutely moving

Dark awry with pink

Whisper with word-wonder

Meadows plush with plume

Bergamot and bell-flow’r

Pouring out their bloom

Pen upon plain paper

That which steals our sighs

Paint a poem-picture

Of love’s laughing eyes

…and where fall has fallen

Press upon the page

Frozen fallow flecked with

Silvered sedge and sage

Draw for me a doorway

To a land of dreams

Where wild havens flower

Beneath sapphire streams

…and the hour tinctures

By the pow’r of word

Picture over picture

That a pen has stirred

I'm reading the journals of L.M. Montgomery.
Even in her youth she had the gift of being able to pen powerful pictures!
