[Look through the naked bramble & black thorn]
Look through the naked bramble & black thorn& see the arum show its vivid green
Glossy & rich & some ink spotted like the morn
Ing sky with clouds—in sweetest neuks Ive been
200
Full of spring visions & green thoughts o' may
Dead leaves a' litter where its leaves are seen
Broader & brighter green from day to day
Beneath the hedges in their leafless spray
