Sweet sights and sounds throng manifold.

Only one little sight, one plant

Woods have in May, that starts up green

Save a sole streak which, so to speak,

Is Spring’s blood, spilt its leaves between—

That, they might spare; a certain wood

Might miss the plant; their loss were small;

But I—whene’er the leaf grows there—

It’s drop comes from my heart, that’s all.”
