Two columbines

Darius Milhaud

Two columbines rocked on the hill.

One columbine said to her sister columbine,

"I tremble before you and am confused."

The other answered, "If in the rock that

the water wears away drop by drop I look at myself, I see

that I tremble and I am as confused as you are."

The wind rocked them harder,

filling them with love and mingling their blue hearts.
