Love
A Pang of Reminiscence
From Love Poems and Others (1913)
LoveTime & Brevity
High and smaller goes the moon, she is small and very far from me,
Wistful and candid, watching me wistfully, and I see
Trembling blue in her pallor a tear that surely I have seen before,
A tear which I had hoped that even hell held not again in store.

Codex Note
A companion poem to 'A White Blossom': the moon again, 'wistful and candid', with a tear in her pallor that the speaker has seen before.
