Birch White

The birch tree in winter

Leaning over the secret pool

Is Narcissus in love

With the slight white branches

The slim trunk

In the dark glass

But

Spring coming on

Is afraid

And scarfs the white limbs

In green

The slim trunk

In the dark glass

But

Spring coming on

Is afraid

And scarfs the white limbs

The birch tree in winter

Spring coming on

Is afraid

And scarfs the white limbs in green

The birch tree in winter

Leaning over the secret pool

Is Narcissus in love

With the slight white branches

The birch tree in winter

Is afraid

And scarfs the white limbs

In green
