DJUNA BARNES
THE wind comes down before the creeping night
And thou, my love, art hid within the green
Long grasses. And the dark steals up between
Each leaf, as through the shadow quick with fright
The startled hare leaps up and out of sight.
The hedges whisper in their loaded boughs
Where warm birds slumber, pressing wing to wing,
All pulsing faintly, like a muted string
Above us, where we weary of our vows—
And, hidden underground, the soft moles drowse.
