Are but the ghosts of bodies you have murdered,

That drive you on in vengeance to fresh crime.

1917


Woods of brown gloom sombring with the hush of death,

Wind's lassitude that sets the tired leaves shivering,

Starved yellow leaves sighing beneath the feet, a breath

Consumptive, old, and fever-red leaves quivering,

As with an earthward flutter like a ghostly butterfly
