Place them across the loom. Let wind-shapes And sunlight come in at the door, Or let the radiance of raining Move in silver on the floor. And sit you quiet in the shadow Before the subtly idle strands. Silence, a cloak, will weigh your shoulder; Silence, a sorrow, fill your hands. Yet there shall come the stirring. . . Weaver, Weave well and not with words alone; Weave through the pattern every fragment Of glittered breath that you have known. Hazel Hall from Cry of Time, 1928
