To have been claimed by what we see of what
Mère and Père Chose are walking away from the
By the design of our own silent eyes
to matter, for the flushed boys are muscular
Pallid waste where no radiant fathomers,
As if your human shape were what the storm
for a few weeks, statistics won't seem
Side of the painting, the world of that wise, white,
Oh you builders,
So, startled, quivering,
In the dread circle hemmed by glaciers,
into early blooming. Then, the inevitable blizzard
My soul lies cracked; and when, in its despair,
Snaps of ice cracking in the hidden air.
I might have happily lived some other childhood.
By the design of our own silent eyes
Swaying in unison beneath the snow,
To follow in the path of their brief blossoming
To a higher level of appearance.
