LESBIA, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Sweet / and delicate / and rare
Last Line: -- at the end of the bough!
Subject(s): Flight; Flying


Sweet,
And delicate,
And rare,

At the end
Of a wind-blown fragrant bough,
The apple swings!

If I,
Who fly no more,
Had wings!

Or if
My wizardry
Knew how!

I'd wing
To where that sweetness swings,
-- At the end of the bough!
