...ped a finger length
And made it leap my knuckle, having tossed
A flower to try its currents where they crossed.
The meadow grass could be cemented down
From growing under pavements of a town;

Under the southern sun, I languid lie

My strength ooze gently from my hollow bones,

...King Arthur made new knights to fill the gap
Left by the Holy Quest; and as he sat

...love is sleeping cold
Where none may see and none shall pass.
The daisies quicken in the mold,
And richer fares the meadow grass.
The warding cypress pleads the skies,
The mound goes level in the rain.
My love all cold and silent lies-

And blown by all the winds that pass
And wet with all the showers,
She walks among the meadow grass
And eats the meadow flowers....Read more of this...
