1 Lake Seen Through Pine Branches
1 Lake Seen Through Pine Branches
Yielding beneath their cones
The branches bend to the lake.
They almost touch the face
Of the water weighted with dreams.
Austere the embrace
Of the circling boughs of the pine-trees
About some swans and an island,
About an image that seems
Set on a screen of silk.
