LONGING - I envy seas whereon he rides
I envy seas whereon he rides, / I envy spokes of wheels
I know a place where summer strives
With such a practised frost,
She each year leads her daisies back,
Recording briefly, Lost.
But when the south wind stirs the pools
And struggles in the lanes,
Her heart misgives her for her vow,
And she pours soft refrains
Into the lap of adamant,
And spices, and the dew,
That stiffens quietly to quartz,
Upon her amber shoe.
I envy seas whereon he rides, / I envy spokes of wheels
We outgrow love like other things / And put it in the drawer,
A light exists in spring / Not present on the year
That short, potential stir / That each can make but once,
