Ezra Pound (30 October 1885 – 1 November 1972 / Hailey / Idaho)

There is a spelling error in the 2nd line. It should read of lily-of-the-valley.

Thank you, Mr. Hager. I almost missed this one. On second reading I thought of Georgia O'Keefe and her flowers. And BTW, your recommendation for the River Merchant's Wife was also much appreciated.

First and briefest of three Pound poems entitled 'Alba, ' this is a lovely example of Imagism. The text above contains a typo and should be spread out like this:
As cool as the pale wet leaves
of lily-of-the-valley
She laid beside me in the dawn
