And hid me in a corner-
And then she died and haunted me,
And hunted me for life.

Through which your soul, exquisitely tortured,
Comes with visions not to be uttered
Into a realm of higher life.

The long, long way that begins with school days,
When little fingers blur under the tears
That fall on the crooked letters.
