Amy Lowell - White Currants
Work rating: Low

Shall I give you white currants? 
I do not know why, but I have a sudden fancy for this fruit. 
At the moment, the idea of them cherishes my senses, 
And they seem more desirable than flawless emeralds. 
Since I am, in fact, empty-handed, 
I might have chosen gems out of India, 
But I choose white currants. 
Is it because the raucous wind is hurtling round the house-corners? 
I see it with curled lips and stripped fangs, gaunt and haunting energy, 
Come to snout, and nibble, and kill the little crocus roots. 
Shall we call it white currants? 
You may consider it as a symbol if you pelase. 
You may find them tart, or sweet, or merely agreeable in colour, 
So long as you accept them, 
And me.
