When wild geese low are flying,
And down along the reedy marsh
The mallard drakes are crying;
When cattle leave the highest hills,
And blackbirds flock together --
By all these signs the hunter knows
Has come good hunting weather. | weather |

Were bearing me - a Ganymede -
Away from earth; distress was growing
Like wings - to spread, to hold, to lead.
I grew. The veil of woven sunsets
At dusk would cling to me and swell.
With wine in glasses we would gather
To celebrate a sad farewell,
And yet the eagle's cl... | weather |

That always fascinates me
It is that from one minute to another

You are barely able to breathe
Scorching hot everywhere
Without a single breeze
And then you hadn’t noticed
But a few clouds had drifted in

Receives us: rooms are full: we can but get
An attic-crib. Such lovers will not fret
At that, it is half-said. The great carouse
Knocks hard upon the midnight's hollow door,
But when I knock at hers, I see the pit.
Why did I come here in that dullard fit?
I enter, and ... | weather |

Man cuts granite blocks off by huge machines;
Man breaks the boulders using dynamite;
The remnants are not worth seeing at all!

In slow degrees for years by crumbling stones,
What’s left appears a master-piece of art –

All sunshine? No vicissitude of rain?

Must have the sweet, the seasonable showers
Of tears; sometimes the frost of chill despair

To then say what events could have been prevented.

Pristine flakes from sky.
