| | From Worker in Marble | | So I begin |
| More bitter chiselled words. |
| Not one soft word |
| To ease my heart. |
I HOW long ago since I brought you into my heart! | |
| And you still stand, | |
| Cold effigy of love, | |
| Letting none pass. | |
| |
II Shadows | 5 |
| In a wind; | |
| Two contend for place | |
| How shall I know my mind? | |
| |
III Like an unhappy ghost | |
| I lingered | 10 |
| In the dark corners | |
| Of his soul. | |
| |
IV His eyes | |
| Are gray | |
| And solitary | 15 |
| As the sea. | |
| |
V Do not drop your head, | |
| Soupon your breast. | |
| My eyes hold all it was best | |
| I leave unsaid. | 20 | | | |
