ELEGY

      THE sun immense and rosy¹

     Must have sunk and become extinct

     The night you closed your eyes for ever against me.

 

     Grey days, and wan², dree dawnings

     Since then, with fritter of flowers—

     Day wearies me with its ostentation³ and fawnings.

 

     Still, you left me the nights,

     The great dark glittery window,

     The bubble hemming⁴ this empty existence with

        lights.

 

     Still in the vast hollow

     Like a breath in a bubble spinning

     Brushing the stars, goes my soul, that skims the

        bounds like a swallow!

 

     I can look through

     The film of the bubble night, to where you are.

     Through the film I can almost touch you.
