First Line: Somehow a solitude / with neither swan nor quay
Last Line: Your naked jubilation.
Subject(s): Solitude; Loneliness
Somehow a solitude
With neither swan nor quay
Surveys its desuetude
With the glance I turned away
Here from the vainglory
Too remote for touch
Bejeweling many a heaven
With the opulence of dusk
But traces languorously
As snowy linen doffed
Such fugitive bird alongside
You exultant one in the surf
To plunge were to become
Your naked jubilation.
