Nature

Two-Fold

by D. H. Lawrence 1885–1930

From New Poems (1918)

Nature

How gorgeous that shock of red lilies, and larkspur cleaving
All with a flash of blue!--when will she be leaving
Her room, where the night still hangs like a half-folded bat,
And passion unbearable seethes in the darkness, like must in a vat.
