Nature
XI
From Time's Laughingstocks, and Other Verses
Nature
We searched till dawn about the house; within the house, without the
house,
We searched among the laurel boughs that grew beneath the wall,
And then among the crocks and things, and stores for winter
junketings,
In linhay, loft, and dairy; but we found her not at all.
