MADEIRA FROM THE SEA, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography

Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs.
Subject(s): Portugal


Out of the delicate dream of the distance an emerald emerges
Veiled in the violet folds of the air of the sea;
Softly the dream grows awakening -- shimmering white of a city,
Splashes of crimson, the gay bougainvillea, the palms.
High in the infinite blue of its heaven a quiet cloud lingers,
Lost and forgotten of winds that have fallen asleep,
Fallen asleep to the tune of a Portuguese song in a garden.
