It was a sepulchre I have been wooing:

Fair to behold was she and seeming warm,

But deep within as cold as death itself,

And to love’s fervent pleadings irresponsive;

Aye, even as the tomb.

Deaf to the voice of poetry and love,

Alas! she’s doubly deaf.

It was a sepulchre I have been wooing.

The October issue of THE GLEBE will present “The Azure Adder,” a one-act comedy by Charles Demuth.
