“He would declare and could himself believe
That the birds there in all the garden round
From having heard the daylong voice of Eve
Had added to their own an oversound,
Her tone of meaning but without the words.”

But being mounted bareback on the earth?”

If seen clear,
Than life’s victories of doubt
That need endless talk-talk
To make them out.’”

As may be in dark woods, and with a song
It shall not make again all winter long
Of hissing on the yet uncovered ground,”

The hillside on the day the sun lets go
Ten million silver lizards out of snow!”
