Under the grass<br>You wait; the breeze moves in the trees, and stirs, and calls,<br>And covers you with white petals, with light petals.<br>There it shall crumble, frail and fair, under the sun,<br>O little heart, your brittle heart; till day be done,<br>And the shadows gather, falling light, and, white with dew,<br>Whisper, and weep; and creep to you.
