Читать книгу The Garden of Dreams - Cawein Madison Julius - Страница 5

What is it now that I shall seek,

Where woods dip downward, in the hills? —

A mossy nook, a ferny creek,

And May among the daffodils.

Or in the valley's vistaed glow,

Past rocks of terraced trumpet-vines,

Shall I behold her coming slow,

Sweet May, among the columbines?

With redbud cheeks and bluet eyes,

Big eyes, the homes of happiness,

To meet me with the old surprise,

Her hoiden hair all bonnetless.

Who waits for me, where, note for note,

The birds make glad the forest-trees?

A dogwood blossom at her throat,

My May among the anemones.

As sweetheart breezes kiss the blooms,

And dewdrops drink the moonlight's gleams,

My soul shall kiss her lips' perfumes,

And drink the magic of her dreams.
