somewhere i never travelled,gladly beyond 
     any experience, your eyes have their silence: 
     in your most frail getures are things which enclose me, 
     or which i cannot touch because they are too near 

     your slightest look easily will unclose me 
     though i have closed myself as fingers, 
     you open always petel by petel myself as Spring opens 
     (touching skilfully, mysteriously) her first rose 

     or if you wish to be close me,i an 
     my life will shut very beautifully,suddenly, 
     as when the heart of this flower imagines 
     the snow carefully everywhere descending; 

     nothing which we are to preceive in this world equals 
     the power of your intense fragility:whose texture 
     compels me with the colour of its countries, 
     rendering death and forever with each breathing 

     (i do not know what it is about you that closes 
     and opens;only somethingin me understands 
     the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses) 
     nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands
