THE CHANGE
ONCE I forgot all, everything,In any day of fall or spring;And even when I went to bed,The little prayer I should have said.
I cannot now forget at allAnything of spring or fall;—The splutter of wind within a hedge;Or smell of hyssop from the edgeOf a hot field; the field itselfDry as a bone upon a shelf;Or deer that fleet across a wood;Or an old woman in a hood.
My prayers rise up, each like a spear,So sharp that God cannot but hear.
