The Tree Annotated

Oh to be free of myself,
&nbsp With nothing left to remember,
To have my heart as bare
&nbsp As a tree in December;

Resting, as a tree rests
&nbsp After its leaves are gone,
Waiting no more for a rain at night
&nbsp Nor for the red at dawn;

But still, oh so still
&nbsp While the winds come and go,
With no more fear of the hard frost
&nbsp Or the bright burden of snow;

And heedless, heedless
&nbsp If anyone pass and see
On the white page of the sky
&nbsp Its thin black tracery.
