from War: an Ode And Other Poems, an electronic edition
A Miracle
LIFE takes some dust,
A little rust,
A crust
Of bread,
And makes a must--
Blood hot and red;--
And joy, and pain, and love, and lust,
Rise from the dead.
Ronald Campbell Macfie, ed. War: an Ode And Other Poems. New York: E.P. Dutton and Company, 1920.
