1 "Summer" by Louise Gluck

In the wild soft summer darkness

How many and many a night we two together

Sat in the park and watched the Hudson

Wearing her lights like golden spangles Glinting on black satin.

The rail along the curving pathway Was low in a happy place to let us cross,

And down the hill a tree that dripped with bloom Sheltered us,

While your kisses and the flowers,

Falling,

falling,

Tangled in my hair....

The frail white stars moved slowly over the sky.And now, far off In the fragrant darkness

The tree is tremulous again with bloom For June comes back.

To-night what girl Dreamily before her mirror shakes from her hair

This year's blossoms, clinging to its coils?
