| EARLY May, after cold rain the sun baffling cold wind. | |
| Irish setter pup finds a corner near the cellar door, all sun and no wind, | |
| Cuddling there he crosses forepaws and lays his skull | |
| Sideways on this pillow, dozing in a half-sleep, | |
| Browns of hazel nut, mahogany, rosewood, played off against each other on his paws and head. | 5 |
