valley of waving broom, <br />O lovely, lovely light, <br />O hear of the world, red-gold! <br />Breast high in the blossom I stand; <br />It beats about me like waves <br />Of a magical, golden sea <br /> <br />The barren heart of the world <br />Alive at the kiss of the sun, <br />The yellow mantle of Summer <br />Flung over a laughing land, <br />Warm with the warmth of her body <br />Sweet with the kiss of her breath <br /> <br />O valley of waving broom, <br />O lovely, lovely light, <br />O mystical marriage of Earth <br />With the passionate Summer sun! <br />To her lover she holds a cup <br />And the yellow wine o'erflows. <br />He has lighted a little torch <br />And the whole of the world is ablaze. <br />Prodigal wealth of love! <br />Breast high in the blossom I stand.<br /><br />Katherine Mansfield<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-the-rangitaki-valley/
