Blue Squills

How many million Aprils came
 Before I ever knew
How white a cherry bough could be,
 A bed of squills, how blue!

And many a dancing April
 When life is done with me,
Will lift the blue flame of the flower
 And the white flame of the tree.

Oh burn me with your beauty, then,
 Oh hurt me, tree and flower,
Lest in the end death try to take
 Even this glistening hour.

O shaken flowers, O shimmering trees,
 O sunlit white and blue,
Wound me, that I, through endless sleep,
 May bear the scar of you.

Stars

Alone in the night
 On a dark hill
With pines around me
 Spicy and still,

And a heaven full of stars
 Over my head,
White and topaz
 And misty red;

Myriads with beating
 Hearts of fire
That aeons
 Cannot vex or tire;

Up the dome of heaven
