In void cloudless afternoons

With dust on kerbs, trees weary with the sun

I thought of things, things I might do

I’ve gathered up the hazy Junes

Mourned languidly, their futile work done)

And turned bracing to the future that is you

Future that lives in eyes – fantastic blue

Beyond vain summer things I then half knew.
