WHEN THE HOUNDS OF SPRING

When the hounds Of spring winters traces
The mother Of months in meadow or plain
Fills the shadows and windy places
With lisp of leaves and ripple of RAIN
And the brown bright nightingale amorous
Is half assuaged for Itylus,
For the Thracan ships and the foreign faces:
The tongueless vigil, and all the pain
Come with bows bent and with emptying of quivers,
Maiden most perfect lady of light,
With noise of winds and many rivers
With clamor of waters, and with might
Bind on thy sandals, o thou fleet
Over the spendor and speed of thy feet!
For the faint east quickens, the wan west shivers
Round the feet of the day the feet of the night
Swim burne
