Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lilith: The Legend of the First Woman
To earth's great granaries - I bring not these. Only thin, scattered blades from harvests gleaned Erewhile I plucked, may happen thee to please. So poor indeed, those others had de'meaned Themselves to cull; or from their strong, firm hands Down dropped about their feet with careless laugh, Too broken for home gathering, these strands, Or else more useless than the idle chaff. But I have garnered them. Yet lest they seem Unworthy, and so shame Love 5 offering, Amid the loose-bound sheaf stray ?owers gleam. And fairer seeming make the gift I bring, Lilies blood-red, that lit the waving field, And now are knotted through the golden grain. Thou wilt not scorn the tribute I now yield, Nor even deem the foolish ?owers vain.
