the fever

I'm having the strangest thing happen... I have a clip of poem in my head today, and I don't know if it's memorized, or if I wrote it years ago. I've googled the portions I remember, and nothing's coming up. I actually thought it was an e.e. cummings phrase, which would be easy to find, I'm sure. Anyway-- has anyone heard anything like this? ...because now it's gonna drive me nuts:

It fevers me, this sun on green, this *** *** ***, this newborn Spring.

The stars are not curses, or as far as I can remember, they're not... just three syllables I can't recall. And that part drives me nuts, too. I'm 80% leaning the direction that I didn't write it.
