THE CASE OF THE POET

Or up from the south, maybe, and slightly tanned.

So startling the beauty of this valley with its river
And the orchards lowering above it like great wings
should you about in long lines like the curve
Of the river the hills
Something like this:
Blue air cLoud-feeked as Nth tho foam Of May,
Green hills superbly holoWed to the sweep
OF the broad rivers teenping deep delight
That feels soo summer coming up this ioGg;
Guls lately from the sea IN s0Gytng fight,
And ficssrs shriltng from the orchards steep,
The nroveless puntes Of elrns in feathered sleep,
And psar-trees from the vale-crest rtshn9 t0hite,

But the river is mere words and as the valley,
Somehow fail to make my stand edge above blue
Under the sunlight.
I miss the sheer pale suddenness Of the appartion:
For they will not leap along the hlsides
White and curved and smooth the feathers on the eags neck
And somebody else has said slow summer,
On was it spring?

done thoroughly but that it also has
been lone with the utmost dispatch
