a red wheel

barrow

glazed with rain

water

beside the white

chickens.

William Carlos Williams

From Auguries of Innocence

To see a world in a grain of sand

And a heaven in a wild flower,

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,

And eternity in an hour.

William Blake

Green

The dawn was apple-green,

The sky was green wine held up in the sun,

The moon was a golden petal between.

She opened her eyes, and green

They shone, clear like flowers undone

For the first time, now for the first time seen.

D. H. Lawrence

Trees

Elm trees

and the leaf the boy in me hated

long ago –

rough and sandy.

Poplars

and their leaves,

tender, smooth to the fingers,

and a secret in their smell

I have forgotten.

Oaks

and forest glades,

heart aching with wonder, fear:

their bitter mast.

Willows

and the scented beetle

we put in our handkerchiefs;

and the roots of one

that spread into a river:

nakedness, water and joy.

Hawthorn,

white and odorous with blossom,

framing the quiet fields,

and swaying flowers and grasses,

and the hum of bees.

Oh, these are the things that are with me now,

in the town;

and I am grateful

for this minute of my manhood.
