(sitting in a tree-)

(sitting in a tree-)
o small you
sitting in a tree-

sitting in a treetop

riding on a greenest

riding on a greener
(o little i)
riding on a leaf

o least who
sing small thing
dance little joy

(shine most prayer) •

into the smiting
sky tense
with
blend

ing
the
tree leaps
a stiffened exquisite


i
wait the sweet
annihilation of swift
flesh

i make me stern against
your charming strength


O haste
annihilator
drawing into you my enchanting
leaves.

both poems by e e cummings
