Love

Forsaken and Forlorn

by D. H. Lawrence 1885–1930

From Look! We Have Come Through! (1917)

Love

The house is silent, it is late at night, I am alone.
From the balcony
I can hear the Isar moan,
Can see the white
Rift of the river eerily, between the pines, under a sky of stone.

Some fireflies drift through the middle air
Tinily.
I wonder where
Ends this darkness that annihilates me.
