The brawling of a sparrow in the eaves The brilliant moon and all the milky sky And all that famous harmony of leaves Had blotted out man's image and his cry.
I wonder anybody does anything at Oxford but dream and remember
For Death who takes what man would keep, Leaves what man would lose.
I knew a phoenix in my youth, so let them have their day.
Players and painted stage took all my love, And not those things that they were emblems of.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day I hear lake water lapping...I hear it in the deep heart's core.
