The Lost Heifer | |
When the black herds of the rain were grazing, | |
In the gap of the pure cold wind | |
And the watery hazes of the hazel | |
Brought her into my mind, | |
I thought of the last honey by the water | 5 |
That no hive can find. | |
Brightness was drenching through the branches | |
When she wandered again, | |
Turning sliver out of dark grasses | |
Where the skylark had lain, | 10 |
And her voice coming softly over the meadow | |
Was the mist becoming rain. |
