| SINCE I lost you, my darling, the sky has come near, |  | 
| And I am of it, the small sharp stars are quite near, |  | 
| The white moon going among them like a white bird among snow-berries, |  | 
| And the sound of her gently rustling in heaven like a bird I hear. |  | 
|   | 
| And I am willing to come to you now, my dear, |         5 | 
| As a pigeon lets itself off from a cathedral dome |  | 
| To be lost in the haze of the sky, I would like to come, |  | 
| And be lost out of sight with you, and be gone like foam. |  | 
|   | 
| For I am tired, my dear, and if I could lift my feet, |  | 
| My tenacious feet from off the dome of the earth |         10 | 
| To fall like a breath within the breathing wind |  | 
| Where you are lost, what rest, my love, what rest! |  |
