Edward Estlin Cummings - what if a much of a which of a wind

what if a much of a which of a wind br gives the truth to summer's lie; br bloodies with dizzying leaves the sun br and yanks immortal stars awry? br Blow king to beggar and queen to seem br (blow friend to fiend: blow space to time) br -when skies are hanged and oceans drowned, br the single secret will still be man br br what if a keen of a lean wind flays br screaming hills with sleet and snow: br strangles valleys by ropes of thing br and stifles forests in white ago? br Blow hope to terror; blow seeing to blind br (blow pity to envy and soul to mind) br -whose hearts are mountains, roots are trees, br it's they shall cry hello to the spring br br what if a dawn of a doom of a dream br bites this universe in two, br peels forever out of his grave br and sprinkles nowhere with me and you? br Blow soon to never and never to twice br (blow life to isn't:blow death to was) br -all nothing's only our hugest home; br the most who die, the more we livebr br Edward Estlin Cummingsbr br
