• The Trees

  The trees are coming into leaf
  Like something almost being said;
  The recent buds relax and spread,
  Their greenness is a kind of grief.
  
  
  Is it that they are born again
  And we grow old? No, they die too.
  Their yearly trick of looking new
  Is written down in rings of grain.
  
  
  Yet still the unresting castles thresh
  In fullgrown thickness every May.
  Last year is dead, they seem to say,
  Begin afresh, afresh, afresh.
