Dust

Tiny atoms of dust
Wavering down the wind!
And they might have been the heart of the rose,
Or the fragrant drift of apple-snows,
Or the quince's cloven rind.

Beauty flees as a dream
When the morning twilight wanes,
Fades like the harvest aureole,
But ever the fragile, breathing soul
Of loveliness remains!
