Pale Companion


Not for thee: the marriage bells;
  1
Not for thee: the bridesmaids' glow;
For thee: the bar and smokers' row;
For thee: no dance, but wine-sick spells.—


For them: bliss-feast none else will know;
  5
For them: deep Heavens, shallow Hells;
For me: no seer on Earth foretells
  That icy blossom soon un-snow.
