Explore "Metric Figure" by William Carlos Williams on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
There is a bird in the poplars!
It is the sun!
The leaves are little yellow fish / swimming in the river.
The bird skims above them, / day is on his wings.
Phoebus!
It is he that is making / the great gleam among the poplars!
It is his singing / outshines the noise / of leaves clashing in the wind.
