Flung upwards by the wind

Into the haggard face of winter—

Nor felt your souls go blowing like balloons

Tossed by impulsive hands;

Nor slid as skaters swiftly

Over the crackling crystals of perilous ice,

Buffeted with bouquets and blinded with confetti ...

You have not felt the abandon

Of light love

Dragged by the hair across a slippery floor....
