After You Speak
26 lines✦
FTER you speakAnd what you meantIs plain,My eyesMeet yours that mean--With your cheeks and hair--Something more wise,More dark,And far different.Even so the larkLoves dustAnd nestles in itThe minuteBefore he mustSoar in lone flightSo far,Like a black starHe seems--A moteOf singing dustAfloatAbove,That dreamsAnd sheds no light.I know your lustIs love.
