it becomes more clear to me.

after three years

paul verlaine

pushing the narrow sagging gate aside,

i walked into the little garden-bower

which the sun, that morning, softly glorified,

bespangling with wet sparks the smallest flower.

nothing had changed. i saw it all: the humble

trellis of wild vine, the rattan chairs...

the fountain murmuring its silver air,

the old aspen everlasting atremble.

just as they used to be: the quivering rose,

the haughty lily on the wind-swayed stalk.

i still know every lark that comes and goes.

i found the Veleda standing even yet,

her plaster scaling, at the end of the walk

-gracile, in the dull scent of mignonette.
