Soft as the bed in the earth
Where a stone has lain-
So soft, so smooth and so cool,
Spring closes me in
With her arms and her hands.
Rich as the smell
Of new earth on a stone,
That has lain, breathing
The damp through its pores-
Spring closes me in
With her blossomy hair;
Brings dark to my eyes.
The Shadow
