Over the roof-tops race the shadows of clouds:

Like horses the shadows of clouds charge down the street.

O seeded grass, you army of little men

Crawling up the low slopes with quivering quick blades of steel:

You who storm millions of graves, tiny green tentacles of earth,

Interlace your tangled webs tightly over my heart

And do not let me go:

For I would lie here for ever and watch with one eye

The pilgrimaging ants in your dull savage jungles,
