Dualisms

Two bees within a chrystal flowerbell rockéd

Hum a lovelay to the westwind at noontide.

Both alike, they buzz together,

Both alike, they hum together

Through and through the flowered heather.

Where in a creeping cove the wave unshocked

Lays itself calm and wide,

Over a stream two birds of glancing feather

Do woo each other, carolling together.

Both alike, they glide together.

Side by side;

Both alike, they sing together,

Arching blueglosséd necks beneath the purple weather.

Two children lovelier than Love adown the lea are singing,

As they gambol, lilygardens ever stringing:

Both in blosmwhite silk are frockéd:

Like, unlike, they roam together

Under a summervault of golden weather;

Like, unlike, they sing together

Side by side,

MidMay's darling goldenlockéd,

Summer's tanling diamondeyed.
