Earth Lover
Old loneliness has such way with me,
That J am close to tears when petals
And nccu. must hide my face against
a wall.
When autumn trees burn red with

And moro that L have seen in April
I have hold stars above my head in
praise,
have worn beauty as two costly

Then let me clasp it wildly to my
heart
And hurt myself until I am part
Of all its rapture, then turn pack 70
Remembering through all the dusty
years
What sudden wonder brought me close
