CAPRICE by DEMIE GENAITIS

First Line: I CLIMBED THAT HILL WHILE PEERING OVER
Last Line: RAN DOWN THE HILL AND CREPT TO BED.
Subject(s): CLIMBING; CLOVER; LIFE;
I climbed that hill while peering over.
When I looked down, up laughed a clover.
I saw a spider, sunlight-pressed.
His heart was in the clover,
His feet were in its dew,
A strip of wind within his breast,
A piece of sky -- his shoe.
I must call this Life -- I said,
Ran down the hill and crept to bed.
