Usage in poetry

But ever must toss and turn.

He whom the harvest hath remembered not
Sleeps with the rose.
Obedient daily dress,
You cannot always keep
That unfakable young surface.
You must learn your lines -
Anger, amusement, sleep;
Those few forbidding signs
Silence invades the breathing wood
Where drowsy limbs a treasure keep,
Now greenly falls the learned shade
Across the sleeping brows
And stirs their secret to a smile.
Then, apt to learn as he was apt to teach,
The topmost souls of the world there caught and spoke.
That old yet new, that now-perfected speech,
And heaven in earth heard in its sleep and woke.

A rose-bud, dropped on drifted snow,—
Its young hand in its father's pressed,
Shall learn that she, who first caressed
Its infant cheek, now sleeps below.
