Great windows open to the south,
Two girls in silk kimonos, both
Beautiful, one a gazelle.

Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,
A lonely impulse of delight

A waste of breath the years behind
In balance with this life, this death.

And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-be,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And evening full of the linnet's wings.

I hear it in the deep heart's core.

Where nobody gets old and godly and grave,
Where nobody gets old and crafty and wise,
Where nobody gets old and bitter of tongue.

His mind moves upon silence.
