A HUNDRED POEMS - XXXI

The poem portrays a serene and mystical scene in a meadow beneath a weeping willow, where the poet encounters their beloved. The imagery of "golden wings" and "gossamer hair" evokes a sense of ethere

There within the meadow beneath 

the weeping willow came to me, 

my love -- upon golden wings 

and gossamer hair. 

  What separation held dissolved unto bliss:

  my heart gently held within angelic mist

There within the meadow beneath the weepy willow

  saw rebirth of soul 

  and fear fled, sorrow too

  and the willow cried

  "what soul once chained

  -- NOW FREE!"

/We live ad let die

Let and let die

Live and let die
