In Two Months Now
(By George Dillon)
In two months now or maybe one
The sun will be a different sun,
And earth that stretches white as straw
With stony ice will crack and thaw1 And run in whistling2 stream and curve3 In still blue-shadowed pools.4 The nerve
Of each pink root will quiver bare,5 And orchards in the April air
Will show black breaking white.6 Red roses in the green twilight
Will glimmer ghostly blue7 and swell8 Upon their vines9 with such a smell
As only floats10 when the breeze is loud11 At dusk from roses in a crowd.
I know that there will be these things,
Remembering them from other springs.
All these and more shall soon be seen;
But not so beautiful as they
Seem now to be, a month away.
