Gently

That all thy motions gently pass
Athwart a plane of molten glass,
I scarce could brook the strain and stir”

Is pressed by unseen feet, and ghosts return
Gently at twilight, gently go at dawn,
The sad intangible who grieve and yearn....”

The stroke of death is as a lover’s pinch,
Which hurts, and is desired.”
