Shuffling the beechLeaves,
Kicking up such a din
We had to walk or talk.
But now is here, and then was then.
You gamboled down that slope,
Shuffling the beechLeaves,
Kicking up such a din
We had to walk or talk.
But now is here, and then was then.
Even a dead beechLeaf,
Within its javelin head, can glow
As warmly as a peach.

A skin, a bloom,
So thin they leave
No room for grief.
They’re but a skin,
A skin, a bloom,
So thin they leave

Its sunset show.
Its sunset show.

All come. And we,
Before the senses were
And after their despair,
Are what no eye can see.
All come. And we,
Before the senses were
And after their despair,
Are what no eye can see.
