TWO POEMS BY RUTH ST. DENIS

My whole body

Has become filled with Light.

I pour forth my spirit

into joy!

I sing!

I dance!

I am arrayed in white,

For my sufferings and fears

Have departed from me.

I dance the eternal ecstacy

of being.


Ruth St. Denis early in her career

O Love,

I know that thy immortal melodies

are never hushed.

Unbroken flows the rhythm

For me to dance upon,

And thy unvariable joy

Awaits my fearless being.
