Wild Wishes by Ethel M. Hewitt

{Poem of the Day}

Today's poem of the day is about losing a loved one. And while I haven't recently lost anyone, it's a lovely poem. Fantastic title.

However, I cannot find any information about the author. So if anyone has any idea, please let me know. I'd like to know more about her.

"Wild Wishes" 

Ethel M. Hewitt

I wish, because the sweetness of your passing

Makes all the earth a garden where you tread,

That I might be the meanest of your roses,

To pave your path with petals passion-red!

I wish, because the softness of your breathing

Stirs the white jasmine at your window frame,

That I might be the fragrance of a flower,

To stir the night breeze with your dearest name!

I wish, because the glory of your dreaming

Strews all the field of heaven with throbbing stars,

That I might storm the portals of your slumber,

And soar with you beyond night's golden bars!

I wish to be the day you die, Beloved,

Though at its close my foolish heart must break!

But most of all, I wish, my dearest darling,

To be the Blessed Morning when you wake!
