    Sickness

    From New Poems (1916).

    Waving slowly before me, pushed into the dark,
    Unseen my hands explore the silence, drawing the bark
    Of my body slowly behind.

    Nothing to meet my fingers but the fleece of night
    Invisible blinding my face and my eyes! What if in their flight
    My hands should touch the door!

    What if I suddenly stumble, and push the door
    Open, and a great grey dawn swirls over my feet, before
    I can draw back!

    What if unwitting I set the door of eternity wide
    And am swept away in the horrible dawn, am gone down the tide
    Of eternal hereafter!

    Catch my hands, my darling, between your breasts.
    Take them away from their venture, before fate wrests
    The meaning out of them.
