| | | DARKNESS utter and absolute of the night | |
| Hides from me the face and eyes | |
| Of one who loved me in the light, | |
| |
| Obscures the violent leap of mind to mind | |
| Into a stranger world— | 5 |
| Passion that seemed to bind, | |
| |
| Hides from me utterly what I have known, | |
| The unquiet soul of one | |
| Who captured joy with inward moan. | |
| |
| A ghost against the sun, | 10 |
| A shiver in the grass, | |
| Dead memories that drift, | |
| And pass, and pass. | | | | |
