Ah shall I follow on the hillsA
The Spring as wild wings followB
Where wild plum trees make wan the hillsA
Crabapple trees the hollowB
Haunts of the bee and swallowB
-
In redbud brakes and floweryC
Acclivities of berryC
In dogwood dingles showeryC
With white where wrens make merryC
Or drifts of swarming cherryC
-
In valleys of wild strawberriesD
And of the clumped May appleE
Or cloudlike trees of haw berriesD
With which the south winds grappleE
That brook and byway dappleE
-
With eyes of far forgetfulnessD
Like some wild wood thing's daughterC
Whose feet are beelike fretfulnessD
To see her run like waterC
Through boughs that slipped or caught herC
-
O Spring to seek yet find you notF
To search yet never win youG
To glimpse to touch but bind you notF
To lose and still continueG
All sweet evasion in youG
-
In pearly peach blush distancesD
You gleam the woods are braidedH
Of myths of dream existencesD
There where the brook is shadedH
A sudden splendor fadedI
-
O presence like the primrose'sD
Again I feel your powerC
With rainy scents of dim rosesD
Like some elusive flowerC
Who led me for an hourC
