XII
Yonder came smells of the gorse, so nutty,
Gold-like and warm: it’s the prime of May.
Better than mortar, brick and putty,
Is God’s house on a blowing day.
Lean me more up the mound; now I feel it:
All the old heath-smells! Ain’t it strange?
There’s the world laughing, as if to conceal it,
But He’s by us, juggling the change.
