Asphodel
WE saw it first together,
Pale plume against the sky,
Flowering on fallen temples
Where asphodel grows high.
Pale plume against the sky,
Flowering on fallen temples
Where asphodel grows high.
We saw it first together,
And haply could not tell
How next in heavenly gardens
You would see asphodel.
And haply could not tell
How next in heavenly gardens
You would see asphodel.
