Cleave to you.

JUNE

April was in your making—youth of the year,

Wild-blooded, beautiful! And May with flowers

And showers agleam went into you, my dear.

But you are June. Deep shadows, silver dew,

Red roses, and the nightingale’s delight:

White moonlight the essential soul of you.

And sometimes as I watch you walk arrayed

In beauty of that month, a foolish fear
