I love at early morn, from new mown swath,
To see the startled frog his route pursue;
To mark while, leaping oer the dripping path,
His bright sides scatter dew,
The early lark that, from its bustle flies,
To hail his matin new;
And watch him to the skies:
To note on
hedgerow
baulks, in moisture sprent,
The jetty snail creep from the mossy thorn,
With earnest heed, and tremulous intent,
Frail brother of the morn,
That from the tiny bents and misted leaves
Withdraws his timid horn,
And fearful vision weaves:
Or swallow heed on smoke-tanned chimney top,
Wont to be first unsealing morning's eye,
Ere yet the bee hath gleaned one wayward drop
Of honey on his thigh;
To see him seek morn's airy couch to sing,
Until the golden sky
Bepaint his russet wing:
And sawning boy by tanning corn espy,
With clapping noise to startle birds away,
And hear him bawl to every passer by
To know the hour of day;
And see the uncradled breeze, refreshed and strong,
With waking blossoms play,
And breathe eolian song.

As Far As My Eye Can See In My Body's Senses
All the trees all their branches all of their leaves
The grass at the foot of the rocks and the houses en masse
Far off the sea that your eye bathes
These images of day after day
The vices the virtues so imperfect
The transparency of men passing among them by chance
And passing women breathed by your elegant obstinacies
Your obsessions in a heart of lead on virgin lips
The vices the virtues so imperfect
The likeness of looks of permission with eyes you conquer
The confusion of bodies wearinesses ardours
The imitation of words attitudes ideas
The vices the virtues so imperfect
Love is man incomplete
Barely Disfigured
Adieu Tristesse

Farewell Sadness
Hello Sadness
You are inscribed in the lines on the ceiling
You are inscribed in the eyes that I love
You are not poverty absolutely
Since the poorest of lips

Ah with a smile
Bonjour Tristesse

Power of love
From which kindness rises
Like a bodiless monster
Unattached head

And Henry's army leapt afloat to win

much furthered by uttering your thoughts, and letting them as well come
forth to the light and

Imagini, chi bene intender cupe

mentre ch'io dico, come ferma rupe--,
quindici stelle che 'n diverse plage
lo ciel avvivan di tanto sereno
che soperchia de l'aere ogne compage;
imagini quel carro a cu' il seno
basta del nostro cielo e notte e giorno,
si ch'al volger del temo non vien meno;
imagini la bocca di quel corno
che si
comincia
in punta de lo stelo
a cui la prima rota va dintorno,
aver fatto di se due segni in cielo,
qual fece la figliuola di Minoi
allora che senti di morte il gelo;
e l'un ne l'altro aver li raggi suoi,
e amendue girarsi per maniera
che l'uno andasse al primo e l'altro al poi;
e avra quasi l'ombra de la vera
costellazione e de la doppia danza
che circulava il punto dov' io era:
poi ch'e tanto di la da nostra usanza,
quanto di la dal mover de la Chiana
si move il ciel che tutti li altri avanza.

And this my heart where each finds death in turn,

As clay eternal and as taciturn.
