As white as a ghost
As sweet as sugar
As black as coal

the cabin windows have grown blank as eyeballs of the dead.
What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?
Each face was like the setting sun, / as, broad and red.
Barefooted, ragged, with neglected hair, she was a thin slip of a girl, like a new moon.

Then, like a hunted deer that could not flee, i turned upon my thoughts and stood at bay, wounded and weak and panting;
there are thick woods where many a fountain, rivulet, and pond are as clear as elemental diamonds.
Years heap their withered hours, like leaves, on our decay.
The ripples wimple on the rills, like sparkling little lasses.
She was like a modest flower blown in sunny june and warm as the sun at noon’s high hour.
And the face of the waters that spread away / was as gray as the face of the dead.
As in depths of many seas, my heart was drowned in memories.
Then like a cold wave on a shore, comes silence and she sings no more.
And shout thy loud battle-cry, cleaving the silence like a sword.
My soul is lost and tossed like a ship unruddered in a shoreless sea.

And dance as dust before the sun, the light of foot and unconfined.
The fishes skim like umber shades through the undulating weeds.
Gather up the undiscovered universe like jewels in a jasper cup.
