Shells By a Stream (1944)

What is Winter?

The haze upon the meadow

Denies the dying year,

For the sun’s within it, something bridal

Is more than dreaming here.

There is no end, no severance,

No moment of deliverance,

No quietus made,

Though quiet abounds and deliverance moves

In that sunny shade.

What is winter? a word,

A figure, a clever guess.

That time-word does not answer to

This drowsy wakefulness.

The secret stream scorns interval

Though the calendar shouts one from the wall;

The spirit has no last days;

And death is no more dead than this

Flower-haunted haze.
