Dance! <br />Dance! <br />The priest is yellow with sunflower meal, <br />He is yellow with corn-meal, <br />He is yellow as the sun. <br />Dance! <br />Dance! <br />His little bells are ringing, <br />The bells tinkle like sunlight, <br />The sun is rising. <br />Dance! <br />Dance! <br />Perhaps I will throw you a basket, <br />Perhaps I will throw you my heart. <br /> <br />Lift the baskets, dancing, <br />Lower the baskets, dancing, <br />We have raised fruits, <br />Now we dance. <br />Our shadows are long, <br />The sunlight is bright between our shadows. <br />Do you want my basket? <br />Catch it! <br />Catch it! <br />But you cannot catch me, <br />I am more difficult.<br /><br />Amy Lowell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/basket-dance/
