After You Speak + 

After you speak + 

And what you meant + 

Is plain, + 

My eyes + 

Meet yours that mean⁠— + 

With your cheeks and hair⁠— + 

Something more wise, + 

More dark, + 

And far different. + 

Even so the lark + 

Loves dust + 

And nestles in it + 

The minute + 

Before he must + 

Soar in lone flight + 

So far, + 

Like a black star + 

He seems⁠— + 

A mote + 

Of singing dust + 

Afloat + 

Above, + 

That dreams + 

And sheds no light. + 

I know your lust + 

Is love. + 
