Under the soil with twinings of their feet

And in the sky with twinings of their arms:

The yellow stools: the still ungathered charms

Of berry, woodland herb, and bryony,

And mid-wood’s changeling child, Anemone.


Quiet as a grave beneath a spire

I lie and watch the pointed climbing fire,

I lie and watch the smoky weather-cock

That climbs too high, and bends to the breeze’s shock,
