For human hands they hang (such rich, such ruby pearls!)
in brambling branches under elder-berry showers,
whorls and walls of them.
They are their own soft-centred earls,
a dash of red-black blood, such drops of sheer
blackbloodedness, branched hundreds under heaven.

Throughout these hot, blenched days
their unripe guardians, those red beads
struggling out of hearts of redness,
heavy on the bitter stalk with choiceless beauty –
chosen by the guided hand, by the instinctive bird.
