Question

Read the following excerpt from "A Love Song" by William Carlos Williams:

What have I to say to you
When we shall meet?
Yet-
I lie here thinking of you.
The stain of love
Is upon the world.
Yellow, yellow, yellow,
It eats into the leaves,
Smears with saffron
The horned branches that lean
Heavily
Against a smooth purple sky.
