" "
Stephen kissed me in the spring,
Robin in the fall,
But Colin only looked at me
And never kissed at all.

Robin’s lost in play,
But the kiss in Colin’s eyes
Haunts me night and day.

The lilac brimmed with dew.
Here in the moving shadows
I catch my breath and sing — My heart is fresh and fearless
And over-brimmed with spring.

Evening: New York

Blue dust of evening over my city,
Over the ocean of roofs and the tall towers
Where the window-lights, myriads and myriads,
Bloom from the walls like climbing flowers.
