Dewy, fiery, dear, forlorn,

Delicate, grave, new out of the morn,

But saturate yet

With the night despair that every flower will wet.

[Credo, and Other Poems]

A BUSINESS TRANSACTION

The poet stepped into a grimy den,

Where the sign above the door

Said: Money to lend, in sums to suit,

On Real Estate, &c.
