Hymn
     ...after Wordsworth

pinched, the ragged daffodil
   risen from new rollen earth:
points the way to risen sun
   as slippered winter, disappears.

Then dance the lamb, more free
   than they: bulbous, rooted, clod to clay:
who see not there the brighter day
   of leaden coldness, disappeared.

Torn from tawn, ungilded shine
   each petal held in prodigal:
for those inclined to witness time
   when darkness washed, disappears.
