Anticipation



Anticipation



When the emerald-dark drink of your body's evening
Carouses with the lemon slice moon of my mind --
Then I have more than strong consolation --
For then the Guardian of Dreams sits up in my blood --

And my high spirits sing and all my whirling world anticipates
Something spectacular -- as the green drink allures
And the Defender of Romance watches and waits
For the first dance of Spring.
