Song to the Hemlocks

 
I sing a song to the hemlocks
in the shade where the river
bends. Sail down, small notes,
with the flashing fins of fly-fish trout
and rowing boats,
past cold and austere rocks,
past glade ferns, golden farms,
the dances of their fields, then out beyond
the fertile loam where the current ends
and the splashing foam of the tide begins.

Song for Beatrice 

 

Beatrice,
hush, my darling,
don’t you cry—
I can see your
smiling eyes—
let your light shine
all around
the room—
share your bliss—
 
Beatrice,
precious child,
dry your tears—
Daddy’s here to
ease your fears—
let your light shine
all around
the room—
