Some Rainbow - coming from the Fair!Some Vision of the World Cashmere - I confidently see! Or else a Peacock's purple Train Feather by feather - on the plainFritters itself away! The dreamy Butterflies bestir! Lethargic pools resume the whirr Of last year's sundered tune! From some old Fortress on the sunBaronial Bees - march - one by one - In murmuring platoon! The Robins stand as thick today As flakes of snow stood yesterday - On fence - and Roof - and Twig!The Orchis binds her feather on For her old lover - Don the sun! Revisiting the Bog!Without Commander! Countless! Still! The Regiments of Wood and HillIn bright detachment stand! Behold, Whose multitudes are these? The children of whose turbaned seas - Or what Circassian Land?
