Eleanor Farjeon (Элинор Фарджон)

Poplars at Night

There are no trees so eloquent with wind
As poplars in the moon-mist of the dusk
When like a spirit that has slipt the husk
Among their heavenly crests its breath is thinned.

Their talk is of such high strange mysteries
They must commune in whispers lest weak men
Ere they are ripe for knowledge snatch again
The secret God has given to the trees.

1. Sonnets. 11. A few of us who faltered as we fared
2. For Joan
3. A Christening
4. Spring-Dawn
5. Sonnets. 5. When all is said, we can but turn our eyes
