Yet comes the Spring -- yet flowers the blooming year.
Tugs the slight blossom on the aging bough.
Hillwood and hedgerow burst the bud, and here
Pales the last squill. Even as then, so now
Death into life, life into death, nowhere
Ultimate ending. The swift transiency
Of brave new loveliness the gardens wear
Is, strangely, one with perpetuity.
Even as then, so now; too brief, too brief
The final blossom, frail tragedienne,
Fatefully lonely as a ghostly grief ...
After the vernal equinox again
Wheels the great galaxy, Spring, then as now,
Tugs, the slight blossom on the aging bough.
