Mid-May

Charles R. Murphy

PUT aside your words, and there are left

Stones of the grey walls and apple-trees;

And in the flesh and mind, and in what seems

Birthing almost of an immortal soul,

Virginity and fortitude and hope—

Delicate as blossoms on the gnarled limbs

White, grey and green above the risen grass.
