Caressed my grief and healed the wounds it gave.

Never again—I hear my dark thoughts clashing

Sullen and blind as waves that beat a wall—

Age that is coming, summer that is going,

All I have lost or never found at all.

The Tune

I know a certain tune that my life plays;

Over and over I have heard it start

With all the wavering loveliness of viols

And gain in swiftness like a runner’s heart.
