Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Song of Spring, 1946; watercolor on paper, 24 5/8 x 28 3/4 inches; Private Collection
At afterglow time To Bentley’s – Pipers – woods & frogs in the glassy ponds – In the twilight woods – a leaf whistle - a bird flies up at my foot unseen – a stray wind in the trees – I heard the stream coming out of gray void – Hoary ghostly fields – wet soggy turf a star low in the east – I dreamt of sunflowers last night –
