Sandals

I've a pair of sandals,
I've a pair of misty green,
And another pair of sandals
Only you have seen.

In the shining silver sandals
I have sped to skies afar.
I have danced and gathered starbeams
On the highest swinging star.

In the misty gray-green sandals
On I have slipped through woodlands dim;
I have knelt a hidden altars--
There to breathe a low-toned hymn.

But the pair of scarlet sandals
Those I wore but one brief day;
And since you have left me--weeping
I have hidden them away.
