The second rose, as virginal and fair,

Shrunk in the tangles of a harlot's hair.

The third, a widow, with new grief made wild,

Shut in the icy palm of her dead child.


IDENTITY

Somewhere--in desolate wind-swept space--

In Twilight-land--in No-man's land--

Two hurrying Shapes met face to face,

And bade each other stand.
