Or flower or wearing-stone or open eye,

When heaven presents in sheets the solid hue?

Since earth is earth, perhaps, not heaven (as yet)—

Though some savants make earth include the sky;

And blue so far above us comes so high

It only gives our wish for blue a whet.

THE ONSET

Always the same when on a fated night

At last the gathered snow lets down as white

As may be in dark woods and with a song
