Poets’ Corner
THE ECHO (Written for THE SUN) Even the soundless rain Holds echo of your name , And every wind that blows Faint , or in volume grows, Tells and re-tells the same Still secret half-sweet pain . Even the stars that turn In that far numbness , burn With remote force that breathes The same message as the leaves Whose shuffle on the ground Is a name's whispered sound. And each minutest thing Is a dark beating wing Whose rhythm in my breast Tells , without pause or rest. Only that half-breathed qain, The echo of a name. UNA CURRIE. Auckland.
