Dear-hood fantasias of mid-year which drenched ivies

Wrought calm and the chaos its welter tracèd waste,

And whistling found each dire leaf fell'n shrivling eaves

They rushed from thought and thought they plowed; on air defaced

Was all. A goddess in her mountainous abode

Waited, let change succumb effects from birth to wake

A trembling sense of awe every morsel betrothed

And wagered, 'I decide not, although, one retakes

His language more 'n storm, Bugsong Hangin embattled,'

Diviner to a mound as home mining vespers,

But not without grandiloquence his overworld

Broken sharper have I looked 'hind this peak darker,

Thornier. O you men, and your heroes in love --

A blade of grass a spade 'fore spades are fronds thereof.
