Nature
Crewbawn
From Songs of Peace (1917)
NatureDeath & Dying
White clouds that change and pass,
And stars that shine awhile,
Dew water on the grass,
A fox upon a stile.
A river broad and deep,
A slow boat on the waves,
My sad thoughts on the sleep
That hollows out the graves.

Codex Note
Nine lines of images, white clouds and passing stars, dew on the grass, a fox on a stile, a river with a slow boat, and 'my sad thoughts on the sleep that hollows out the graves'.
