The windows are grimy: I think of you 

And they’re translucent suddenly

The day is grey but with a few

Thoughts of you it gleams for me

To splendid music: a dreamy boy

Young with love’s daftness am I with you

And with its wisdom an old sage too.

Swallow you up along the sun-flecked path

Only your legs I see...
