To Angelic Circumstances

To Angelic Circumstances

God bles you, angelic circumstances

That lay me in Rome, at that instant, Katherine

Was born, then sum of two units months old

How we rejoice excessivelyed

To know she would be three

Then four through which time Paris

Was the city of our mirth

For Baby Katherine rul the tree

And sum of two units banks the Champs Elysees

And the dim bark of the chestnut tree

Of Luxembourg when she was useful

Or bad and rul the echoing zephyr

That ruffled the sad learners hair

As they walked end the Cite Universitaire

Not far from a public way where Braque had once lived

I forget its name on the other hand they were all the same

I have become an elderly crank now of university living

But I remember those bare

Knee of being completely there

And adequately seeing

That what was there was really there

And when the bus came felt like transfigured being

We got upon it and there was still air

The blest air that we breathe!
