At night, twin urns, your eyes are filled with sleep

From some far, silent sea I do not know,

Some far, far sea whither I may not go,

Where you do leave me for the tideless deep.

At dawn when you come back again you keep

Your soul so recessed, hidden from me so,

Our old love seems as steps in melting snow

Hastening unto the twin, dim urns of sleep.

As one within a twilight lone I feel

While gorgeous-winged some great strange bird sweeps past
