      Children grow up way to fast, and before you know it they are making their won way in the world.
  • In her room at the prow of the house Where light breaks, and the windows are tossed with linden, My daughter is writing a story.
  • Young as she is, the stuff Of her life is a great cargo, and some of it heavy: I wish her a lucky passage.

  • I remember the dazed starling Which was trapped in that very room, two years ago; How we stole in, lifted a sash
  • And wait then, humped and bloody, For the wits to try it again; and how our spirits Rose when, suddenly sure, It lifted off from a chair-back, Beating a smooth course for the right window And clearing the sill of the world. It is always a matter, my darling, Of life or death, as I had forgotten. I wish What I wished you before, but harder.
