Words

I.
They are not dead who die, they are but lost who live

II.
[Distance / Dappled with diminish’d trees / Spann’d with shadow everyone.]

III.
A noise of falls I am possessed by
Of streams; and clouds like mesh’d and parted moss
Of water. Clouds like parted moss
Attain the windy levels of the sky
Which between ash-tops suffers loss
Of its concavity.
