Alfred Kreymborg, ed. Others for 1919. 1920.

Jeanne d’Orge

Joy

HE swings upon the high green boughs of life

Up to the stars and down.

Curious about the noisy earth

He parts the leaves to look.

He has the face of a child

Aloof and whimsical

Hearing the slow complaint

Of rheumatism and old age.

Mischief clears the puzzled brows

He shakes the tree…

Oh the glittering scented shower…

Oh the enraptured quiet….
