Did you abruptly change
your jacket?
Dressed yourself for
the hospital
Explained that you
must go,
Leaving with a few
curt words!
Banging the door on
the way out
In hast, according to
some degree of
Displeasure you think
you left behind
Last time you were
there!
When as a result of
this decisive action
You focused within
yourself all the
Potentialities of
this action, —did you not
See the greater
strength you needed to
Accomplish this
swiftest of changes?
And then to cope with
it, in your frame of mind!
Then for that moment,
all got away from you,
And all faded into
brittleness: the infant
Bodily-drawn to your
heart; did you not know
It was such a late
hour in your life?
Love has all but made your eyes hollow
((yet love covers all sin) (Pro.
10:12))
You were in the deepest gallery of your
mind!
You dropped down to his knees, alongside
the infant’s bed—
What was said?
Such a manner lies beyond my
comprehension.
Did you not know, or
perhaps care:
“Love is as strong as death”? SS. 8:6
