All things are waves. We have left the crest,
and wallow in a trough.

And the moon gave her crying child
a loaf of evening stars.

Faraway poplars flourished their shadows
and summoned the fields to sessions of silence.

You are my song, my dark-blue dream
of doves, of winter's drowsy drone,
and sleighs that slow and golden g o
through gray-blue shadows on the snow.
