Grass-tops

Witter Bynner

WHAT bird are you in the grass-tops?

Your poise is enough of an answer,

With your wing-tips like up-curving fingers

Of the slow-moving hands of a dancer.

And what is so nameless as beauty?—

Which poets, who give it a name,

Are only unnaming forever,

Content, though it go, that it came.
