HOLIDAY
SOME dusk within a silver wood,A narrow wood of the wild pear,A hundred trees in a windy rood,I shall be tall, I shall be fair.
Wild pear will strew me foot and headWith white, like samite wrought of oldFor troubled women lying-deadIn falling towns, curious with gold.
The pools will show me my changed face,With all its April back again,A silver thing in a silver placeAnd yet unsung by singing men.
At dusk, it will be very goodTo have not any tears to weep;At last, within a wild pear wood,To turn to silence and to sleep.
