Falls on the listless keyboard, smooth and white—

Remembered music dreams in the dull light;

And you, too, George, sit silently and dreaming,

Alone, into the night.


THE DEAR MYSTERY

Joy, and the triumph and the doom of gladness

Make in my breast a music sweet as sadness;

Shall I not sing for sorrow, and again

Cry out, for the sheer joyousness of pain!
