"I have heard the sunset song of the birches,"
10 lines✦
I have heard the sunset song of the birches,A white melody in the silence,I have seen a quarrel of the pines.At nightfallThe little grasses have rushed by meWith the wind men.These things have I lived," quoth the maniac,"Possessing only eyes and ears.But you --You don green spectacles before you look at roses."
