William Carlos Williams (1883 - 1963) was an American poet closely associated with modernism and Imagism.
He was also a pediatrician and general practitioner of medicine.
Williams "worked harder at being a writer than he did at being a physician," wrote biographer Linda Wagner-Martin.
However, during his long lifetime, Williams excelled both as a poet and a physician.
He wrote several poems under the title "Love Song" and here is one of them.
LOVE SONG
Sweep the house clean,
hang fresh curtains
in the windows
put on a new dress
and come with me!
The elm is scattering
its little loaves
of sweet smells
from a white sky!
Who shall hear of us
in the time to come?
Let him say there was
a burst of fragrance
from black branches.
William Carlos Williams
