Preface to the 1948 Edition
She stretches a hand toward the toothy sleeper
How can they get the point of how a world
Cascading snowflakes settle in the pines,
No name, no meaning. Oh my friends,
Rain. We are forced to fly,
By the design of our own silent eyes
The bees are buzzing,
and preening, dancing on the basepaths,
the foul pole relaxes. She's raged all afternoon
Is the moon to grow
I bring down a bit of its light
Are muffled into silence that refuses
It's snowing, it's returning to a town
Toward . . . that seems to be the whispered question
Columbuses or Gamas, ever pass,
II. Quest and Conquest
Are gliding toward me on the ice into
wonders if she'd ever be brave enough
