Songs (III)
when life is quite through with and leaves say alas, much is to do for the swallow,that closes a flight in the blue; when love’s had his tears out, perhaps shall pass a million years (while a bee dozes on the poppies,the dears; when all’s done and said,and under the grass lies her head by oaks and roses deliberated.)
From XLI Poems (The Dial Press, 1925) by E. E. Cummings. This poem is in the public domain.
