The Lime Tree
By ROBERT BRITTAIN
that you may be as the lime tree and calm and
over me coolly leaning
cavern of leaves deeply
green of the sea-weed idle in sea-hollow:
over me coolly leaning
cavern of leaves deeply
green of the sea-weed idle in sea-hollow:
glaucous these waters the depth of their quietness
folded as silence is numb in the humming dark of a shell O Tree
O sea-deep cavern of leaves.
folded as silence is numb in the humming dark of a shell O Tree
O sea-deep cavern of leaves.
