Casts its shadows on the following Words:

Longing. Desire. Lust.

And when these pass, over on

Mother. Tenderness. Love.

Where they grow as huge as trees On walls in summer evenings.

After this they fall, Simultaneously, over both

Sky and prairie underneath it.

Here grass waves them in the wind. Then clouds sift them through

Calm snow and quick rivers.

So foolish man, if drowning Is what you seek, Drown in any of these!
