Soft the night smell
Among April trees
Soft and richly rare
Yet commonplace
Perfume on a cosmic scale.
Excerpt from Flowers of Darkness, Frank Marshall Davis (1905–1987)
Soft the night smell

Excerpt from Flowers of Darkness, Frank Marshall Davis (1905–1987)
Yet with these April sunsets, that somehow recall
My buried life, and Paris in the Spring,
I feel immeasurably at peace, and find the world
To be wonderful and youthful, after all.
