Early in the morning


.
.
Early in the morning, walking
in a garden in Vancouver
three thousand miles from your grave,
the sky dripping, song
sparrows singing in the borders,
I come suddenly upon 
a Japanese dogwood, a tree
you loved, bowed down with bloom.
By what blessedness do I weep?
.
~ Wendell Berry
