And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand

Lie close around her; leave no room for mirth
With its harsh laughter, nor for sound of sighs.

The intellect that sees us through,
The philosophy that helps us decide,

Whose speed is but the heavy Plummets pace;
And glut thy self with what thy womb devours,

I clutched my fingers in murderous fashion,

At evening

Tonight, the moon, bright circle,
fails to dominate space.

It lies, a windless land of livid dawns,
Nude to a desolate firmament, with hills
That seem the gibbous bones of the mummied Earth,

An endless silent shout
Of something beating on a wall,
And crying, â??Let me out!â?

The Wings Of Love

Comes down at the end of the day; and a quiet like prayer
Grows soft in your eyes, and among your fluttering hair
The red of the sun is mixed with the red of your cheek.

Thaw not the frost which binds so dear a head!
And thou, sad Hour, selected from all years

And I for you;

When Phœbus wanted but one hour to bed,
The trees all richly clad, yet void of pride,
Were gilded o're by his rich golden head.

Was it a chance that made her pause
One moment at the opened door,
Pale where she stood so flushed before
As one a spirit overawes:-

Memories of my companions killed in the war
The olive-branch of time
Memories that make only a single memory

Down the road someone is practising scales,
The notes like little fishes vanish with a wink of tails,
Man's heart expands to tinker with his car
For this is Sunday morning, Fate's great bazaar;

Art Will Show To Eternity Your Soul

Like all of you, i'm seeing my reflection into it,
Even i am sad, happy, tired or bored,
What i'm seeing in my mirror it's my physical reality, my own truth.

When my soul surrenders in its battle with them,
Day and night I press my eyelids closed
And sometimes I'm vouchsafed peculiar visions.

Perhaps to prove the rule or shame the devil,
Or speak the truth only a stranger sees,

Thou foster-child of silence and slow time,
Sylvan historian, who canst thus express
A flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme:
