Alba

As cool as the pale wet leaves
                                     of lily-of-the-valley
She lay beside me in the dawn.
Meditatio

When I carefully consider the curious habits of dogs
I am compelled to conclude
That man is the superior animal.

When I consider the curious habits of man
I confess, my friend, I am puzzled.
Titled in Greek (*)

Thy soul
Grown delicate with satieties,
Atthis.
   O Atthis,
I long for thy lips.
I long for thy narrow breasts,
Thou restless, ungathered.
