“The Load of Sugar-Cane” by Wallace Stevens 🇺🇸 (2 Oct 1879 – 2 Aug 1955)
The going of the glade-boat
Is like water flowing;
​
Like water flowing
Through the green saw-grass,
Under the rainbows;
​
Under the rainbows
That are like birds,
Turning, bedizened,
​
While the wind still whistles
As kildeer do,
​
When they rise
At the red turban
Of the boatman.
