Prevision By Aline Kilmer
Prevision
By Aline Kilmer
I know you are too dear to stay;
You are so exquisitely sweet:
My lonely house will thrill someday
To echoes of your eager feet.
I hold your words within my heart,
So few, so infinitely dear;
Watching your fluttering hands I start
At the corroding touch of fear.
A faint, unearthly music rings
From you to Heaven -- it is not far!
A mist about your beauty clings
Like a thin cloud before a star.
My heart shall keep the child I knew,
When you are really gone from me,
And spend its life remembering you
As shells remember the lost sea.

Songs of an Empty House
from Songs of
an Empty House
By Marguerite
Wilkinson
My father got
me strong and straight and slim,
And I give thanks to him;
My mother
bore me glad and sound and sweet, --
I kiss her feet.
I have no
son, whose life of flesh and fire
Sprang from my splendid sire,
No daughter
for whose soul my mother's flesh
Wrought raiment1 fresh.
Life's
venerable2 rhythms like a flood
Beat in my brain and blood,
Crying from
all the generations past,
"Is this the last?"
And I make
answer to my haughty3 dead,
Who made me, heart and head,
"Even
the sunbeams falter, flicker and bend --
I am the end."
1. raiment:
