MARCH WIND
BLOW! blow, and tear Orion down;Topple his great hounds out the sky;And I shall wear about the town,A cloak of silver bye and bye.
Set your wild trumpet to the dust,And crack the old graves. High or lowUpset the world, if so you must,To start one village rose to blow.
Tug at men's hearts. As with a knifeFrom every vain thing cut them free;And break the littleness of lifeAs one breaks fagot on the knee.
Blow! blow my lover a strange dream;Pierce his old thought of me in twain;Make me so fair to him, I seemA new Helen, down new Trojan lane.
