William Carlos Williams - A Love Song lyrics

What have I to say to you When we shall meet? Yet— I lie here thinking of you The stain of love Is upon the world Yellow, yellow, yellow It eats into the leaves Smears with saffron The horned branches that lean Heavily Against a smooth purple sky There is no light— Only a honey-thick stain That drips from leaf to leaf And limb to limb Spoiling the colours Of the whole world I am alone The weight of love Has buoyed me up Till my head Knocks against the sky See me! My hair is dripping with nectar— Starlings carry it On their black wings See, at last My arms and my hands Are lying idle How can I tell If I shall ever love you again As I do now?
