The Tulip Bed + 

The May sun⁠—whom + 

all things imitate⁠— + 

that glues small leaves to + 

the wooden trees + 

shone from the sky + 

through bluegauze clouds + 

upon the ground. + 

Under the leafy trees + 

where the suburban streets + 

lay crossed, + 

with houses on each corner, + 

tangled shadows had begun + 

to join + 

the roadway and the lawns. + 

With excellent precision + 

the tulip bed + 

inside the iron fence + 

upreared its gaudy + 

yellow, white and red, + 

rimmed round with grass, + 

reposedly. + 
