In the Wood
I heardthe water-fall rejoiceSinging like a choir,I saw the sun flash out of itAzure and amber fire.The earth was like an open flowerEnamelled and arrayed,The path I took to find its heartFluttered with sun and shade.And while earth lured me, gently, gently,Happy and all alone,Suddenly a heavy snakeReared black upon a stone.

The earth was like an open flower
Enamelled and arrayed,
The path I took to find its heart
Fluttered with sun and shade.
And while earth lured me, gently, gently,Happy and all alone,Suddenly a heavy snakeReared black upon a stone.

Suddenly a heavy snake
Reared black upon a stone.
