'The daffodils are fine this year ' I saidA
'O yes but see my crocuses ' said sheB
And so we entered in and sat at talkC
Within a little parlour bowered aboutD
With garden noises filled with garden scentE
As some sweet sea shell rings with pearly chimesF
And sighs out fragrance of its mother's breastG
-
We sat at talk and all the afternoonH
Whispered about in changing silencesI
Of flush and sudden light and gathering shadeJ
As though some Maestro drew out organ stopsK
Somewhere in heaven As two within a boatL
On the wide sea we sat at talk the hoursM
Lapping unheeded round us as the wavesN
And as such two will ofttimes pause in speechO
Gaze at high heaven and draw deep to their heartsP
The infinite azure then meet eyes againQ
And flash it to each other without wordsR
First and then with voice trembling as trumpetsS
Tremble with fierce breath voice cadenced tooT
As deep as the deep sea Aeolian voiceU
Voice of star spaces and the pine wood's voiceU
In dewy mornings Life's own awful voiceU
So did We talk gazing with God's own eyesV
Into Life's deeps ah how they throbbed with starsW
And were we not ourselves like pulsing sunsX
Who once an aeon met within the voidY
So fiery close forget how far awayZ
Each orbit sweeps and dream a little spaceA2
Of fiery wedding So our hearts made answeringB2
Lightnings all that afternoon through purple mistsC2
Of riddled speech and when at last the sunD2
Our sentinel made sign beneath the treesE2
Of coming night and we arose and passedF2
Across the threshold to the flowers againQ
We knew a presence walking in the groveG2
And a voice speaking through the evening's coolH2
Unknown before though Love had wrought no wrongI2
His rune was spoken and another rhymeJ2
Writ in his poem by the master LifeK2
-
'Pray pluck me some ' I said She brought me twoT
For daffodils were very fine that yearL2
O very fine but daffodils no moreM2
