AND when on the dark steel came the roads Of a milky mist, and a spray of stars, Bunches and squares and a spatter of stars, We counted stars, one by one, a million and a million. And we remembered those stars as fishermen remember fish, As bees remember blossoms, as crops remember rains. And these were rooms too; we can so reckon. We can always say we have gone through great rooms together. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SATIRES OF CIRCUMSTANCE: 11.
