Description
Ascent (partial) - by Laura Lee Bird - 1933
They stripped my body of its dress
And, twisting tight my silken hair,
They thrust a candle in my hand
And sent my on a broken stair
A blackness laps before, behind
    The wick that licks the gusty wind

The stones uneven were and steep;
Their darkness chilled my fumbling feet.
I shuddered with each breath that shrived
My swaying body of its heat.
    Above the rapid wind's repeat
    I hear my frightened pulses beat.

More pale than ghost was I who climbed...
More pales than I the tallow flame
That was bestowed on me to find
The way the other dreamers came.
    Frail ghosts, frail ghosts, but wraiths in name
    Who upward creep the stars to claim.
