Weariness
By Witter Bynner
 
THERE is a dear weariness of love…
Hand relaxed in hand,
Shoulder at rest upon shoulder.
 
And to me that pool of weariness is more wonderful
Than crater, cataract,        5
Maelstrom, earthquake…
 
For it is a double pool
In which lie, silent,
The golden fishes of sleep.
