At least Love your eyes that can see, your mind that can
Hear the music, the thunder of the wings. Love the wild swan.
Love the Wild Swan (1935)
This wild swan of a world is no hunter's game.
Love the Wild Swan (1935)
Oh pale and brittle pencils ever to try
One grass-blade's curve, or the throat of one bird
That clings to twig, ruffled against white sky.
Love the Wild Swan (1935)
I hate my verses, every line, every word.
Oh pale and brittle pencils ever to try
One grass-blade's curve, or the throat of one bird
That clings to twig, ruffled against white sky.
Oh cracked and twilight mirrors ever to catch
One color, one glinting flash, of the splendor of things.
Love the Wild Swan (1935)
