Late Spring Poem by Judith Wright

Late Spring

Rating: 4.3


The moon drained white by day
lifts from the hill
where the old pear-tree fallen in storm
springs up in blossom still.
Women believe in the moon:
this branch I hold
is not more white and still than she
whose flower is ages old,
and so I carry home
flowers from the pear
that makes such obstinate tokens still
for fruit it cannot bear.

Yes no one like barrenness but this truth is also unhidden that somecflowers are meant only to bloom and not to bear fruit. Even then trees bear them without guilt or shame but we humans only know to pick up guilts ans ashame others.
