Dream Song 1

77 Dream Songs (1964)

Huffy Henry hid  the day,unappeasable Henry sulked.I see his point,—a trying to put things over.It was the thought that they thoughtthey could do it made Henry wicked & away.But he should have come out and talked.

All the world like a woolen loveronce did seem on Henry’s side.Then came a departure.Thereafter nothing fell out as it might or ought.I don’t see how Henry, priedopen for all the world to see, survived.

What he has now to say is a longwonder the world can bear & be.Once in a sycamore I was gladall at the top, and I sang.Hard on the land wears the strong seaand empty grows every bed.77 Dream Songs (1964)
