NOT HEAT FLAMES UP AND CONSUMES.

NOT heat flames up and consumes, Not sea-waves hurry in and out, Not the air delicious and dry, the air of ripe summer, bears lightly
along white down-balls of myriads of seeds, Wafted, sailing gracefully, to drop where they may; Not these, O none of these more than the flames of me, consum-
ing, burning for his love whom I love, O none more than I hurrying in and out; Does the tide hurry, seeking something, and never give up? O I
the same, O nor down-balls nor perfumes, nor the high rain-emitting clouds,
are borne through the open air, Any more than my soul is borne through the open air, Wafted in all directions O love, for friendship, for you.
