After the Winters
Some day, when trees have shed their leaves And against the morning’s whiteThe shivering birds beneath the eaves Have sheltered for the night,We’ll turn our faces southward, love, Toward the summer isleWhere bamboos spire the shafted grove And wide-mouthed orchids smile.
And we will seek the quiet hill Where towers the cotton tree,And leaps the laughing crystal rill, And works the droning bee.And we will build a lonely nest Beside an open glade,and there forever we will rest, O love–O nut-brown maid.
