Come Leaves Burst v3

[John Galt]

[b]Come Leaves Burst

Jeremy my first thought was, do "leaves burst"? buds do, I am still
trying to find a definitive answer.

Trait o'er sun breaks the dale.
Frost's house glows, cream egg
polished tooth, candle mass, whey

over trees. The stamen daisy
windows direct, connect, stripe
the barwaken sky dripping

I am having trouble seeing what "stamen daisy windows" are, and how they can stripe the sky. What is a barwaken sky?.

rainbow strait watercolour
melting snow blue. Cold, rapt,
enwrapped cold, old night pulls

The pulling of the queen by old night, is leaving me mystified as to its meaning, I am obviously missing something, is it the virgin queen?
as you use "virgin" in the next verse, is the "old night actually a "knight", even so I still cannot connect the dots.

the Queen, who names the vale,
to heave all winter's rain,
hooked, eyed, crochet quavered

This part is the meat for me, "all winter's rain,
hooked, eyed, crochet quavered"
I would keep that part in mind for insertion elsewhere.

gown; frock coated vain veil
virgin rolling, rolling, retreating
up and aft, to the river.

A lot of this poem was lost to abstraction for me, this could be through my lack of knowledge so please bear with me. I am still trying to gain better skills at deciphering a poets thoughts.

Thank you. JG
