SUPPLICATION, by                    
First Line: Lord, make me immune this spring
Last Line: God, a heart's a fragile ... Thing.
Subject(s): Hearts; Love


Lord, make me immune this spring ...
Calm, untouched ... let no green thing
Blind my eyes nor grip my heart.
Let me stand aloof ... apart.

Let not my lip tremble when
Lovers slip through moon-glazed glen,
While I walk alone ... nor see
Star-dust on a cherry-tree.

Make me deaf to each wild tune,
Thrush and lark and river-rune ...
Fill me not with vague unrest ...
Kill this surging in my breast!

Nor let lilacs wet with dew
Stir old dreams nor fashion new ...
Shield me from the hurt of spring,
God, a heart's a fragile ... thing.
