"Why can't you say what you mean straight out in prose?" <br />Well, say it yourself: then say "It's that, but more, <br />Or less perhaps, or not that way, or not <br />That after all." The meaning of a song <br />Might be an undernote; this tree might mean <br />That leaf as much as trunk, branch, other leaves. <br />And does one know till one begins? And let's <br />Look over hedges far as eyesight lets us, <br />Since road's not, surely, road, but road and hedge <br />And feet and sky and smell of hawthorn, horse-dung. <br /> <br /> <br />Submitted by Stephen Fryer<br /><br />Arthur Seymour John Tessimond<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/epilogue-8/
