It was a dayA
All blue and lifting whiteB
When I went into the fields with FrankC
To fly his kiteB
-
The fields were aged bareD
Shut between houses everywhereD
All the way thereD
The wind tugged at the kite to take itE
Untethered toss and break itE
But Frank held fast and IF
Walked with him admiringlyG
In his light brave and fineH
How bright was mineH
-
We tailed the kiteB
While the wind flapped its purple faceI
And yellow headJ
Frank's yellow headJ
Was scarcely higher and not so brightB
Let go he cried and I let goK
And watched the kiteB
Swaying and rising soK
That I was rooted to the placeI
Watching the kiteB
Rise into the blueL
Lifting its head against the whiteB
Against the sunM
Against the heightB
That far off farther drewL
Shivering thereD
In that fine airD
As we below shivered with delightB
And fearN
-
There it floatedO
Among the birds and clouds at easeP
Of others all unnotedO
Swimming above the ranked stiff treesP
And I lay down looking up at the skyF
The clouds and birds that floatedO
By others still unnotedO
And that swaying kiteO
Specking the lightO
Looking up at the skyF
The birds and clouds that drewL
Nearer leaving the blueL
Stooping and then brushing meG
With such tenderness touching meG
That I had still lain thereD
In those fields bareD
Forgetting the kiteO
For every cloud was now a kiteO
Streaming with lightO
