Lewis Alexander, "Quest" (1928)

Quest

By Lewis Alexander

Like roses ramble on the ground
And up the trellised porch,
I have sought you all around
Bearing brave the torch.

Now the lengthy search has burned
Out the flaming light.
I with broken heart return
Searching thru the night.


Published in The Crisis, July 1928
