Poet Analysis

First Line: MANY BIRDS AND THE BEATING OF WINGS
Last Line: EAGER AS THE GREAT MORNING.

MANY birds and the beating of wings
Make a flinging reckless hum
In the early morning at the rocks
Above the blue pool
Where the gray shadows swim lazy.

In your blue eyes, O reckless child,
I saw today many little wild wishes,
Eager as the great morning.
