Comes, dear, into my heart: I am afraid

That you being one with shadow-bars and roses,

Birds and wild scents of June, with these will fly

And I be left alone when Summer closes

Her pageantry!

SONNET

That Death shall take and slay me matters not

In truth: for better men are buried under,

And—tut, “what can’t be cured must be endured”!

But I am wild with hate, pray devil’s thunder
