~Dead Girl
No more with overflowing lightĀ
Shall fill the eyes that are now fadedĀ
No more shall she quiver down the daysĀ
The flowing wonder of her ways wherwhereof no language may require
The shifting and the many shaded
The grace, divine, definitive clings only as a faint forestallingĀ
The laugh that love could not forgive
Is hushed, and answers to no callingĀ
The forehead and the little ears have goneĀ
Where Saturn keeps the years
The breast where roses could not liveĀ
The beauty, shattered by the laws
That have creation in their keepingĀ
No longer trembled at applause
And we who delve in beauty's loreĀ
Know all that we have known beforeĀ
Of what inexorable cause makes time so vicious in his reaping.Ā
