A white sky full of scudding blue,

A white wind that runneth as a child

Touching most delicately the new

Sweet buds, and having touched and smiled,

Goes to seek out some pale anemone,

And wreathe with maiden flowers her fragile brow.

A YOUNG MAN’S LOVE

If I were your sister I’d lie with you the night-long

To feel your bosom’s beating;

If I were your brother I’d wake you with a day-song
