Romance for a Demoiselle Lying in the Grass

Document Actions
It is grass.
It is monotonous.

The monotony
Is like your port which conceals
All your characters
And their desires.

I might make many images of this
And twang nobler notes
Of larger sentiment.

But I invoke the monotony of monotonies
Free from images and change.

Why should I savor love
With tragedy or comedy?

Clasp me, 
Delicatest machine.

Port: The manner in which one carries oneself; bearing. (American Heritage Dictionary)
