The ghost of a garden fronts the sea.

With his lips he travaileth;
In his heart is a blind desire,

His life is a watch or a vision
Between a sleep and a sleep.

And time remembered is grief forgotten,
And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,
And in green underwood and cover
Blossom by blossom the spring begins.
