Chapter I–V

Pearl Andelson

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

    In a wind;

    Two contend for place—

    How shall I know my mind?

    III
    Like an unhappy ghost

    I lingered

    In the dark corners

    Of his soul.

    IV
    His eyes

    Are gray

    And solitary

    As the sea.

    V
    Do not drop your head,

    So—upon your breast.

    My eyes hold all it was best

    I leave unsaid.
