For Eager Lovers (Taggard collection)/Spring Touch
SPRING TOUCH
How tender-mad the little meadows lie!
The wobbling lambs are tasting milky weeds,
The tipsy trees
Are leaned like foam on green, wind-gullied seas;
The pale moth flutters where the pale moth leads,
And you, swimming the sky
Waist deep in surf of apple-blossoms—I,
Sweet to your thigh,
Take the new tingle of your froth of seeds.
