All in green went my love riding <br />on a great horse of gold <br />into the silver dawn. <br /> <br />Four lean hounds crouched low and smiling <br />the merry deer ran before. <br /> <br />Fleeter be they than dappled dreams <br />the swift red deer <br />the red rare deer. <br /> <br />Four red roebuck at a white water <br />the cruel bugle sang before. <br /> <br />Horn at hip went my love riding <br />riding the echo down <br />into the silver dawn. <br /> <br />Four lean hounds crouched low and smiling <br />the level meadows ran before. <br /> <br />Softer be they than slippered sleep <br />the lean lithe deer <br />the fleet flown deer. <br /> <br />Four fleet does at a gold valley <br />the famished arrow sang before. <br /> <br />Bow at belt went my love riding <br />riding the mountain down <br />into the silver dawn. <br /> <br />Four lean hounds crouched low and smiling <br />the sheer peaks ran before. <br /> <br />Paler be they than daunting death <br />the sleek slim deer <br />the tall tense deer. <br /> <br />Four tall stags at the green mountain <br />the lucky hunter sang before. <br /> <br />All in green went my love riding <br />on a great horse of gold <br />into the silver dawn. <br /> <br />Four lean hounds crouched low and smiling <br />my heart fell dead before.<br /><br />Edward Estlin Cummings<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/all-in-green/
