    This 3 stanza poem describes 3 veils - one of lavender and dawn that floats off invisibly, one of purple noon that unwinds in wisdom and moves in various ways, and one of night that circles the speaker singing until it brushes the tip of the young moon like lips three times.

    Veils

    Witter Bynner - 1881-1968


    This veil
    Of lavender and dawn
    Floats off
    Invisible, 
    And this of purple noon
    Unwinds in wisdom,
    Twitters, undulates,
    Dips, darts, 
    And this of night
    Circles around me singing
    To the very edge and presence of the young moon—
    And it brushes the tip
    Like lips
    Three times.
