Subject(s): Love; Olive Trees And Olives
How hot it was! Across the white-hot wall
Pale olives stretch towards the blazing street;
You broke a branch, you never spoke at all,
But gave it me to fan with in the heat;
You gave it me without a sign or word,
And yet, my dear, I think you knew I heard.
You gave it me without a word or sign:
Under the olives first I called you mine.
