“The quarrel of the sparrows in the eaves,
The full round moon and the star-laden sky,
And the loud song of the ever-singing leaves,
Had hid away earth’s old and weary cry.”

What matter if the ditches are impure?

A year ago for the first time
At midnight to my room,
And I must lie between the sheets
When the clock begins to chime.””
