I hear the sound of rain, I’m sleepless without you, what is all the morning’s wealth if you ain’t near’ come sleep to sooth my heart and numb, what a dreamless weary, I open my eyes still am alone, your words have forked no light like a sinking star as I smooth my long brown nose, my eyelids droop sad and silent, stark and lonely’ I have known you since I could stand, something is wrong: did death blossom on my shadow; I have no human fear’ our homely joys and destiny obscure, in the dark alone my heart is filled with rain drops, our springtime with its roses are shuttered and over.
