The heron


[tThe] heron stalking solitary thing 
Mount up into high travel far away 
& that mild indecision hanging round 
Skys holding bland communion with the ground 
In gentlest pictures of the infant day 
Now picturing rain—while many a pleasing sound 
Grows mellower distant in the mealy grey 
Of dewy pastures & full many a sight 
Seems sweeter in its indistinct array 
Than when it glows in mornings stronger light
