And I speak to it of itself
And sing of it with my own voice
Since certainly it is mine.

To provide for the next generation of men.

Amid the slant stones of graveyards.

Came in the night-time
And let their thin hair blow through your clustered stems.

Of millions, robber of the best

Only whalebone and brocade.

Up and down
In my gown.
Gorgeously arrayed,
Boned and stayed.

With the weight of this brocade,
For the sun sifts through the shade.

Moon!
I am prone before you.
Pity me,
And drench me in loneliness.
