The Green Door
Here in the May we danced on violets
And blew off golden bubbles. Ah, my love,
How shall I name the sorrows and regrets
I pluck, and the black drink I press thereof?
Now you dream deeply, wise in death's great lore;
I lean above you where the crickets sing,
And fumble the dumb latch of the green door-
You of the Maytime, lovely, wantoning.
