“One
wading a Fall meadow finds on all sides
The
Queen Anne’s Lace lying like lilies
On
water; it glides
So
from the walker, it turns
Dry
grass to a lake, as the slightest shade of you
Valleys
my mind in fabulous blue Lucernes.”—American poet-translator Richard Wilbur
(1921-2017), “The Beautiful Changes,” from Collected Poems 1943-2004 (2004)
I
took this photo a year ago in Flat Rock Brook, in my hometown, Englewood, NJ.
