from From the Cupola
Morning The task is done When my sisters wake
they will look once more upon pale water and clear sky
a fair far brow of land
with its fillet of Greek trees oak apple willow
and here below in the foreground
across a street finished down to the last detail
a red clapboard temple The neat outlines
it's a warehouse really have been filled with colors
dull red flaking walls white trim
and pediment tar roof patched black on black
Greek colors An effect I hope
not too much spoiled by a big yellow legend
BOAT WORKS on the roof which seagulls helicopters
the highup living and the happy dead
are in a position to read
– James Merrill (1966)
