Subject(s): Sonnet (as Literary Form)
Out from the sodden, soft, and springtime mud
After the warm and beating April rain,
My hyacinth stood, sweet, white, without a stain,
Clasped to its slim green stalk a tender bud.
Child as I was, it hurt my heart; a flood
Of love came for it. Dear, when I have lain
With you, and out of agony and pain
Have borne a child that is our flesh and blood,
When you have seen him held against my side
More pledge of love than poems that I wrote,
Beneath that surging of triumphant pride
That makes the heart to sing and head to float,
I ask you.... darling ... dear ... will not a tide
Of love come up and fumble in your throat?
