| MANY birds and the beating of wings | |
| Make a flinging reckless hum | |
| In the early morning at the rocks | |
| Above the blue pool | |
| Where the gray shadows swim lazy. | 5 |
| |
| In your blue eyes, O reckless child, | |
| I saw today many little wild wishes, | |
| Eager as the great morning. | |
