Fountains that frisk and sprinkleB
The moss they overspillB
Pools that the breezes crinkleB
The wheel beside the millB
With its wet weedy frillB
Wind shadows in the wheatC
A water cart in the streetC
The fringe of foam that girdsD
An islet's ferneriesD
A green sky's minor thirdsD
To live I think of theseD
-
Of ice and glass the tinkleB
Pellucid silver shrillB
Peaches without a wrinkleB
Cherries and snow at willB
From china bowls that fillB
The senses with a sweetC
Incuriousness of heatC
A melon's dripping sherdsD
Cream clotted strawberriesD
Dusk dairies set with curdsD
To live I think of theseD
-
Vale lily and periwinkleB
Wet stone crop on the sillB
The look of leaves a twinkleB
With windlets clear and stillB
The feel of a forest rillB
That wimples fresh and fleetC
About one's naked feetC
The muzzles of drinking herdsD
Lush flags and bulrushesD
The chirp of rain bound birdsD
To live I think of theseD

EnvoyE
-
Dark aisles new packs of cardsD
Mermaidens' tails cool swardsD
Dawn dews and starlit seasD
White marbles whiter wordsD
To live I think of theseD
