Whose nest is in a watered shoot
A Birthday

Because my love is come to me

Because the birthday of my life
Is come, my love is come to me

Come in the speaking silence of a dream
Echo

Echo

That opening, letting in, lets out no more
Echo
Come back to me in dreams, that I may give
Pulse for pulse, breath for breath

From the Antique

And smite a rock

Gained and gained and gained
In the Round Tower at Jhansi
I wish I could bear the pang for both

Me best of all Maude Clare.
