Alfred Kreymborg, ed. Others for 1919. 1920.

William Saphier

Meeting

HER glance swung my body

like a bell

in a long forgotten church

and the tingling emotions came forth

like sounds summoned,

at attention,

grouped around an altar

of a great love.

Stiff like a bronze pillar

I came

and drank the two tears

her eyes offered

like raised crystals

at a solemn farewell meeting.
