Ah, God, the way your little finger moved
As you thrust a bare arm backward
And made play with your hair
And a comb a silly gilt comb
Ah, God—that I should suffer
Because of the way a little finger moved.

This slow Day moved along —

I heard its axles go

As if they could not hoist themselves

They hated motion so —


I told my soul to come —

It was no use to wait —

We went and played and came again
...
