Sample text
C. G. H.
Then suddenly she stripped, the very skin Came off her soul, – a mere girl clings Longer to some last rag, however thin, When she has shown you – well – all sorts of things: ‘If it were daylight-oh! one keeps one’s head – But fourteen years! – No one has ever guessed – The whole thing starts when one gets to bed – Death? – If the dead would tell us they had rest! ’ 12 She stopped like a shot bird that flutters still, And drops, and tries to run again, and swerves. The tale should end in some walled house upon a hill.
Was she young or perhaps for years She had sat staring, with dry eyes, at this and that man going past Till suddenly she saw You on the steps of Simon’s house And stood and looked at You through tears. I think she must have known by those The thing, for what it was that had come to her. For some of us there is a passion, I suppose So far from earthly cares and earthly fears That in its stillness you can hardly stir Or in its nearness, lift your hand, So great that you have simply got to stand Looking at it through tears, through tears.
