Versos English D. H. Lawrence EASTWOOD

English poem

EASTWOOD

by

Listen in the reader

THE stars that open and shut Fall on my shallow breast Like stars on a pool.

The soft wind, blowing cool Laps little crest after crest Of ripples across my breast.

And dark grass under my feet Seems to dabble in me Like grass in a brook.

Oh, and it is sweet To be all these things, not to be Any more myself.

For look, I am weary of myself!
