XII

Yonder came smells of the gorse, so nutty,

Gold-like and warm: it’s the prime of May.

Better than mortar, brick and putty,

Is God’s house on a blowing day.

Lean me more up the mound; now I feel it:

All the old heath-smells! Ain’t it strange?

There’s the world laughing, as if to conceal it,

But He’s by us, juggling the change.
