Ilman hämylaineet hienot puiden punerrukset vienot huolii himmenevän maan kevätunten purppuraan. Taivaan kantta leuto-säinen soutaa tähti yksinäinen niin kuin pursi hopeisen suvi-öisen joutsenen. Haaveet heijaa maassa, puussa suvihaaveet huhtikuussa. Helähtelee herkkä jää pajun virpi värähtää. Oksat unelmista taipuu onnen odotusta vaipuu. Taivas kuulas yötä maan syleilee kuin armastaan.
