I	A
	-
Winter is long in this climate	B
and spring a matter of a few days	C
only a flower or two picked	D
from mud or from among wet leaves	E
or at best against treacherous	F
bitterness of wind and sky shining	G
teasingly then closing in black	H
and sudden with fierce jaws	I
	-
II	A
	-
March	J
you reminded me of	K
the pyramids our pyramids	L
stript of the polished stone	M
that used to guard them	N
March	J
you are like Fra Angelico	O
at Fiesole painting on plaster	P
	-
March	J
you are like a band of	K
young poets that have not learned	Q
the blessedness of warmth	R
or have forgotten it	S
At any rate	T
I am moved to write poetry	U
for the warmth there is in it	S
and for the loneliness	F
a poem that shall have you	V
in it March	J

III	A
	-
See	U
Ashur ban i pal	W
the archer king on horse back	H
in blue and yellow enamel	X
with drawn bow facing lions	Y
standing on their hind legs	Z
fangs bared his shafts	A2
bristling in their necks	B2
	-
Sacred bulls dragons	Y
in embossed brickwork	H
marching in four tiers	C2
along the sacred way to	V
Nebuchadnezzar's throne hall	D2
They shine in the sun	E2
they that have been marching	H
marching under the dust of	K
ten thousand dirt years	F2
	-
Now	G2
they are coming into bloom again	H2
See them	N
marching still bared by	A
the storms from my calender	U
winds that blow back the sand	I2
winds that enfilade dirt	J2
winds that by strange craft	K2
have whipt up a black army	U
that by pick and shovel	X
bare a procession to	V
the god Marduk	H
	-
Natives cursing and digging	H
for pay unearth dragons with	L2
upright tails and sacred bulls	M2
alternately	U
in four tiers	C2
lining the way to an old altar	U
Natives digging at old walls	N2
digging me warmth digging me sweet loneliness	F
high enamelled walls	N2
	-
IV	K
	-
My second spring	H
passed in a monastery	U
with plaster walls in Fiesole	U
on the hill above 'Florence	N2
My second spring painted	O2
a virgin in a blue aureole	U
sitting on a three legged stool	U
arms crossed	P2
she is intently serious	N2
and still	U
watching an angel	U
with colored wings	N2
half kneeling before her	U
and smiling the angel's eyes	N2
holding the eyes of Mary	U
as a snake's hold a bird's	N2
On the ground there are flowers	N2
trees are in leaf	K
	-
V	U
	-
But now for the battle	U
Now for murder now for the real thing	H
My third springtime is approaching	H
Winds	N2
lean serious as a virgin	Q2
seeking seeking the flowers of March	J
	-
Seeking	H
flowers nowhere to be found	R2
they twine among the bare branches	N2
in insatiable eagerness	N2
they whirl up the snow	O
seeking under it	S
they the winds snakelike	H
roar among yellow reeds	N2
seeking flowers flowers	N2
	-
I spring among them	N
seeking one flower	U
in which to warm myself	K
	-
I deride with all the ridicule	U
of misery	U
my own starved misery	U
	-
Counter cutting winds	N2
strike against me	U
refreshing their fury	U
	-
Come good cold fellows	N2
Have we no flowers	N2
Defy then with even more	U
desperation than ever being	H
lean and frozen	E2
	-
But though you are lean and frozen	E2
think of the blue bulls of Babylon	S2
	-
Fling yourselves upon	S2
their empty roses	N2
cut savagely	U
	-
But	B
think of the painted monastery	U
at Fiesole	U
