I am sketched this evening
By happy hands that take my heart
Slowly,
The brow so frail and childlike
That tears
Tremble upon my lids.
But silence dwells
So that I dare not weep,
Somnolence wells
So that I dare not dream,
Lord! Grandeur swells
So that I dare not be!
And I am a slumbering water,
And I am a leaf forlorn,
In the wind where golden-haired October mourns,
In the sadness of swans and the dew.
