All night, and as the wind lieth among
The cypress trees, he lay,
Nor held me save as air that brusheth by one
Close, and as the petals of flowers in falling
Waver and seem not drawn to earth, so he
Seemed over me to hover light as leaves
And closer me than air,
And music flowing through me seemed to open
Mine eyes upon new colours.
O winds, what wind can match the weight of him!

Thought:

“One test of a good poem is that it is as current as the latest fad or frenzy and yet could be understood as wonderful and ‘current’ in 100 or 500 years.”
