Under the separated leaves of shade	A
Of the gingko that old tree	B
That has existed essentially unchanged	C
Longer than any other living tree	B
I walk behind a woman Her hair's coarse gold	D
Is spun from the sunlight that it rides upon	E
Women were paid to knit from sweet champagne	F
Her second skin it winds and unwinds winds	G
Up her long legs delectable haunches	G
As she sways in sunlight up the gazing aisle	H
The shade of the tree that is called maidenhair	B
That is not positively known	I
To exist in a wild state spots her fair or almost fair	B
Hair twisted in a French twist tall or almost tall	J
She walks through the air the rain has washed a clear thing	K
Moving easily on its high heels seeming to men	L
Miraculous Since I can call her as Swann couldn't	M
A woman who is my type I follow with the warmth	N
Of familiarity of novelty this new	O
Example of the type	P
Reminded of how Lorenz's just hatched goslings	G
Shook off the last remnants of the egg	Q
And looking at Lorenz realized that Lorenz	G
Was their mother Quaking his little family	B
Followed him everywhere and when they met a goose	G
Their mother they ran to him afraid	A
	-
	-
Imprinted upon me	B
Is the shape I run to the sweet strange	R
Breath taking contours that breathe to me 'I am yours	G
Be mine '	-
Following this new	O
Body somehow familiar this young shape somehow old	D
For a moment I'm younger the century is younger	B
the living Strauss his moustache just getting gray	B
Is shouting to the players 'Louder	B
Louder I can still hear Madame Schumann Heink '	-
Or else white bald the old man's joyfully	B
Telling conductors they must play Elektra	B
Like A Midsummer Night's Dream like a fairy music	S
Proust dying is swallowing his iced beer	B
And changing in proof the death of Bergotte	D
According to his own experience Garbo	T
A commissar in Paris is listening attentively	B
To the voice telling how McGillicuddy me McGillivray	B
And McGillivray said to McGillicuddy no McGillicuddy	B
Said to McGillivray that is McGillivray Garbo	T
Says seriously 'I vish dey'd never met '	-
	-
	-
As I walk behind this woman I remember	B
That before I flew here waked in the forest	D
At dawn by the piece called Birds Beginning Day	B
That each day birds play to begin the day	B
I wished as men wish 'May this day be different '	-
The birds were wishing as birds wish over and over	B
With a last firmness intensity reality	B
'May this day be the same '	-
Ah turn to me	B
And look into my eyes say 'I am yours	G
Be mine '	-
My wish will have come true And yet	D
When your eyes meet my eyes they'll bring into	D
The weightlessness of my pure wish the weight	D
Of a human being someone to help or hurt	D
Someone to be good to me to be good to	D
Someone to cry when I am angry	B
that she doesn't like Elektra someone to start on Proust with	U
A wish come true is life I have my life	V
When you turn just slide your eyes across my eyes	G
And show in a look flickering across your face	G
As lightly as a leaf's shade a bird's wing	K
That there is no one in the world quit like me	B
That if only If only	B
That will be enough	W
	-
	-
But I've pretended long enough I walk faster	B
And come close touch with the tip of my finger	B
The nape of her neck just where the gold	D
Hair stops and the champagne colored dress begins	G
My finger touches her as the gingko's shadow	T
Touches her	B
Because after all it is my wife	V
In a new dress from Bergdorf's walking toward the park	X
She cries out we kiss each other and walk arm in arm	Y
Through the sunlight that's much too good for New York	Z
The sunlight of our own house in the forest	D
Still though the poor things need it We've no need	D
To start out on Proust to ask each other about Strauss	G
We first helped each other hurt each other years ago	T
After so many changes made and joys repeated	D
Our first bewildered transcending recognition	A2
Is pure acceptance We can't tell our life	V
From our wish Really I began the day	B
Not with a man's wish 'May this day be different '	-
But with the birds' wish 'May this day	B
Be the same day the day of my life '	-
