for Christopher Smart

When winter was half over
God sent three angels to the 
     apple-tree
Who said to her
"Be glad, you little rack
Of empty sticks,
Because you have been chosen.

In May you will become
A wave of living sweetness
A nation of white petals
A dynasty of apples."


Anonymous submission.
