I love old earth Why should I lift my wingsA
My misty wings so high above her breastB
That flowers would shake no perfumes from their heartsC
And waters breathe no whispers to the shoresD
I love deep places builded high with woodsE
Deep dusk fern closed and starred with nodding bloomsF
Close watched by hills green garlanded and tallG
-
On hazy wings all shot with mellow goldH
I float I float thro' shadows clear as glassI
With perfumed feet I wander o'er the seasJ
And touch white sails with gentle finger tipsK
I blow the faithless butterfly againstL
The rose red thorn and thus avenge the roseM
I whisper low amid the solemn boughsN
And stir a leaf where not my loudest sighO
Could move the emerald branches from their calmP
Leaves leaves I love ye much for ye and IO
Do make sweet music over all the earthQ
-
I dream by glassy ponds and lingering kissR
The gold crowns of their lilies one by oneS
As mothers kiss their babes who be asleepT
On the clear gilding of their infant headsU
Lest if they kissed the dimple on the chinV
The rose flecks on the cheek or dewy lipsK
The calm of sleep might feel the touch of loveW
And so be lost I steal before the rainX
The longed for guest of summer as his fringeY
Of mist drifts slowly from the mountain peaksZ
The flowers dance to my fairy pipe and flingA2
Rich odours on my wings and voices cryO
'The dear West Wind is damp and rich with scentB2
We shall have fruits and yellow sheaves for this '-
-
At night I play amidst the silver mistsC2
And chase them on soft feet until they climbD2
And dance their gilded plumes against the starsE2
At dawn the last round primrose star I hideF2
By wafting o'er her some small fleck of cloudG2
And ere it passes comes the broad bold SunS
And blots her from the azure of the skyO
As later toward his noon he blots a dropH2
Of pollen gilded dew from violet cupI2
Set bluely in the mosses of the woodJ2
