And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And wild plum trees in tremulous white;
Robins will wear their feathery fire,
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree, if mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself when she woke at dawn
Would scarcely know that we were gone.
【对比装置,一首关于“known”的诗】
"I Am Not Yours"
I am not yours, not lost in
you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.
You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.
Oh plunge me deep in love -- put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing
wind.
【Lost】

Less Than the Cloud to the Wind
Less than the cloud to the
wind
Less
than the foam to the sea
Less
than the rose to the storm,
Am
I to thee.
More than the star to the night,
More
than the rain to the tree,
More
than heaven to earth,
Art
thou to me.
【more or less 】

A Winter Night
My window-pane is starred with frost,
The world is bitter cold to-night,
The moon is cruel, and the wind
Is like a two-edged sword to smite.
God pity all the homeless
ones,
The beggars pacing to and fro,
God pity all the poor to-night
Who walk the lamp-lit streets of snow.
My room is like a bit of June,
Warm and close-curtained fold on fold,
But somewhere, like a homeless
child,
My heart is crying in the cold.
