Although you sit in a room that is gray, br Except for the silver br Of the straw-paper, br And pick br At your pale white gown; br Or lift one of the green beads br Of your necklace, br To let it fall; br Or gaze at your green fan br Printed with the red branches of a red willow; br Or, with one finger, br Move the leaf in the bowl-- br The leaf that has fallen from the branches of the forsythia br Beside you... br What is all this? br I know how furiously your heart is beating.
