Notice Lyrics by Robert Lowell

0

The resident doctor said,
“We are not deep in ideas, imagination or enthusiasm -
how can we help you?”
I asked,
“These days of only poems and depression -
what can I do with them?
Will they help me to notice
what I cannot bear to look at?”

The doctor is forgotten now
like a friend’s wife’s maiden-name.
I am free
to ride elbow to elbow on the rush-hour train
and copy on the back of a letter,
as if alone:
“When the trees close branches and redden,
their winter skeletons are hard to find -”
to know after long rest
and twenty miles of outlying city
that the much-heralded spring is here,
and say,
“Is this what you would call a blossom?”
Then home - I can walk it blindfold.
But we must notice -
we are designed for the moment.
