IS WHAT SHE SEES OF THEM...., by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Now what can she peer forward to again
Last Line: Who greets in them some trait of hers or his?
Subject(s): Pain; Suffering; Misery


Now what can she peer forward to again
Unless it have some element abreast
With him and her and their dark, haunted quest
Which mingled each with each in mystic rain,
So fragile, yet imperious whose grain,
It forced them blind, and blinder, till the test
Divided them apart, brought forth the guest
Whose consecrated breathing shared their pain!

Is what she sees of their posterity
A replica, for which she left ajar
Her window, hopeful of the prodigy:
The two they were emerge the one they are?
What else need she look forward to than this,
Who greets in them some trait of hers or his?
