09.6.08 nod and strive to dream

nod and strive to dream - click to enlarge

Let her be some Sabrina fresh from stream,
Lucent as shallows slowed by wading sun,
Bedded on fern, the flowers’ cynosure:
Then nymph and wood must nod and strive to dream
That she is airy earth, the trees, undone,
Must ape her languor natural and pure.

Ceremony

    Lovely. Reminds me of endless summer days at the swimming quarry as a kid.
