First Line: I was the west wind over the garden
Last Line: You were the blossom that drew me down.
Subject(s): Flowers; Bees
I was the west wind over the garden,
Out of the twilit marge and deep;
You were the sultry languorous flower,
Famished and filled and laid to sleep.
I was the rover bee, and you --
With the hot red mouth where a soul might drown,
And the buoyant soul where a man might swim --
You were the blossom that drew me down.
