The thrushes too-
Because it was these you so liked to hear-
I so liked you.

But I’ll like the Spring because it is simply spring
As the thrushes do.

Sometimes in the over-heated house, but not for long,
I see myself among the crowd,Where no one fits the singer to his song,Or sifts the unpainted from the painted facesOf the people who are always on my stair;They were not with me when I walked in heavenly places;But could I spareIn the blind Earth’s great silences and spaces,The din, the scuffle, the long stareIf…
