White on the rim of the autumn rain,

Pressing the cold of your cheek to my face,

Roving the infinite hills of space,

Wandering, wandering everywhere,

Wearing a leaf that is dead in your hair,

Mother of Darkness, Mother of Pain,

White on the rim of the autumn rain.

CRY OF THE WOUNDED LOON.

A dirge was on the waters,

Each wave a muffled bell;
