I had copies of English Poetry, W.B. Yeats, and Elizabeth B.-Browning when I was there--and I read those books closely, but I only wrote one poem:

Campion and Herrick

When we played, we'd find their horns
and bury them on the hill,

Cherry-bright, if we dug our holes
they'd be sure to grow in May,

Cherry-ripe, she gre and strayed
when we found no elk nor doe.

this

very abstract, mysterious but with these concrete images of planting, burying, growth, change... that is feels familiar, very moving
