“Coming Awake” in New Poems(24) by D.H. Lawrence
When I woke, the lake-lights were quivering on the wall,
The sunshine swam in a shoal across and across,
And a hairy, big bee hung over the primulas In the window, his body black fur, and the sound of him cross.
There was something I ought to remember: and yet I did not remember.
Why Should I? The running lights And the airy primulas, oblivious Of the impending bee — they were fair enough sights.”
