Distrustful of the Gentian

Distrustful of the Gentian—

And just to turn away,

The fluttering of her fringes

Child my perfidy—

Weary for my—————

I will singing go—

I shall not feel the sleet—then—

I shall not fear the snow.

Flees so the phantom meadow

Before the breathless Bee—

So bubble brooks in deserts

On Ears that dying lie—

Burn so the Evening Spires

To Eyes that Closing go—

Hangs so distant Heaven—

To a hand below.
