| | From “Voluntaries”
I HAVE fed on the radiance of my beloved | |
| Lying beneath the flowering pear-tree. | |
| Her breasts are inverted cups of sunlight; | |
| She is dappled over with iridescence. | |
| Light and heat | 5 |
| Pierce the pear leaves, | |
| And fall dizzily | |
| Through a flashing of petal-flakes, | |
| Burnishing and mellowing her. | |
| My nostrils are prophetic | 10 |
| With the sweetness of pear flesh, | |
| My eyes are dazzled with love made manifest, | |
| And my mind is parturient and tremulous | |
| With glistening schemes. | | | | |
