"Shadows"
I
My dreams of you are sombre in the twilight
As a hedge of bramble growing interlaced —
A straggling little hedge with scarlet berries,
Sharp to the touch, and bitter to the taste.
II
This is my wrong to you, O man that I love-
I who had all to give And would have held back naught thereof,
I whom love taught to live,

When you asked for a loaf of my baking,
And a bit of blossomy spray,
Gave only these for your taking,
And hid the rest away.
