I A THIN gray shadow on the edge of thought | |
| Hiding its wounds: | |
| These are the wounds of sorrow— | |
| It was my hand that made them; | |
| And this gray shadow that resembles you | 5 |
| Is my own heart, weeping … | |
| You sleep quietly beneath the shade | |
| Of willows in the south. | |
| |
II When the cold dawn stood above the house-tops, | |
| Too late I remembered the cry | 10 |
| In the night of a wild bird flying | |
| Through the rain-filled sky. | |
