First lines
THE listless beauty of the hour / When snow fell on the apple trees / And the wood-ash gathered in the fire / And we faced our first miseries.
Then the sweeping sunshine of noon / When the mountains like chariot cars / Were ranked to blue battle--and you and I / Counted our scars.
And then in a strange, grey hour / We lay mouth to mouth, with your face / Under mine like a star on the lake, / And I covered the earth, and all space.
The silent, drifting hours / Of morn after morn / And night drifting up to the night / Yet no pathway worn.
