Poems, Chiefly Lyrical/Dualisms

DUALISMS.

Two bees within a chrystal flowerbell rockédHum a lovelay to the westwind at noontide.Both alike, they buzz together,Both alike, they hum togetherThrough and through the flowered heather.Where in a creeping cove the wave unshockedLays itself calm and wide,Over a stream two birds of glancing featherDo woo each other, carolling together.Both alike, they glide together.Side by side;Both alike, they sing together,Arching blueglosséd necks beneath the purple weather.
Two children lovelier than Love adown the lea are singing,As they gambol, lilygardens ever stringing:Both in blosmwhite silk are frockéd:Like, unlike, they roam togetherUnder a summervault of golden weather;Like, unlike, they sing togetherSide by side,MidMay's darling goldenlockéd,Summer's tanling diamondeyed.
