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.
