They are unholy who are born
To love wild plum at night,
Who once have passed it on a road
Glimmering and white.
It is as though darkness had
Speech of silver words,
Or as though a cloud of stars
Perched like ghostly birds.
They are unpitied from their birth
And homeless in men's sight,
Who love better than the earth
Wild plum at night.
