And the trees are lines of black Hindus

Praying in black shrivelled attitudes.

The grass is a priest in dream-gold cloth,

Lying on his back, hard with years of thought-spinning.

The lateral-gray, snarled clouds over him

Are the thoughts he has solemnly woven.

The slender lagoon holds the laughter of a child

With his lips to a huge, full cup.
