The New Cake Of Soap

Lo, how it gleams and glistens in the sun
Like the cheek of a Chesterton.

In A Station Of The Metro

The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.

clear as frost on the grass-blade,

You also are laid aside.

Even in my dreams you have denied yourself to me
And sent me only your handmaids.

L'Art

Green arsenic smeared on an egg-white cloth,
Crushed strawberries! Come, let us feast our eyes.

Ts'ai Chi'h

The petals fall in the fountain,
the orange-coloured rose-leaves,
Their ochre clings to the stone.

To Dives

Who am I to condemn you, O Dives,
I who am as much embittered
With poverty
As you are with useless riches ?
