Was waiting till the four of them were home;
Was wondering how soon she could forget.
Dora would have his baby in her house.
And then she could forget. She wiped her eyes.
Darius here—now he would be alone,
And that perhaps was harder. So “I do”
Came distantly across the room as she compared
Their griefs; and when the couple, bent to kiss,
Held on to one another, and held on
And on, as if the world would die this way,
