Explore "Love Song" by William Carlos Williams on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I lie here thinking of you: -- / the stain of love / is upon the world!
Yellow, yellow, yellow / it eats into the leaves, / smears with saffron / the horned branches that lean / heavily / against a smooth purple sky!
There is no light / only a honey-thick stain / that drips from leaf to leaf / and limb to limb / spoiling the colors / of the whole world -- / you far off there under / the wine-red selvage of the west!
