EARTH-BREATHS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I can forget the night
Last Line: In the yellowbird's throat!


I can forget the night
And the day, --
And daises that grew
By the Appian Way.

But, no, not this . . . not this . . .
One clear note
That the white cat killed
In the yellowbird's throat!
