Forgetfulness

 Forgetfulness is like a song 
That, freed from beat and measure, wanders.
 
Forgetfulness is like a bird whose wings are reconciled, 
Outspread and motionless, -- 
A bird that coasts the wind unwearyingly.
 

Forgetfulness is rain at night, 
Or an old house in a forest, -- or a child.
 
Forgetfulness is white, -- white as a blasted tree, 
And it may stun the sybil into prophecy, 
Or bury the Gods.
 

I can remember much forgetfulness.
