I need my opera binoculars
And about three more weeks
To catch the birds coming back
And the sylphs who emerge
With their first pale green
All wrinkled and furry
The drops of blood falling
On the whitest flowers
Winter's ghosts brilliant
In the sodden woods
Until all the birds speak at once
In their separate languages your name
And the sun rides up
To rest on your lap my head
