HOW are those berries lovely in
This January light and sun!
They gleam upon the bended bough
And lift and quiver in the sun.
He, laughing child, laughs happier
Seeing the Winter sun in flower,
And shakes the sprays, till the dew falls
As if the light had turned to flower.
And graver seeing, or seeing nought,
Another child walks on in dreams
Beneath the flowers of light and sun
And plucking other flower of dreams.
