Nonentity

Title:     Nonentity
Author: D. H. Lawrence [More Titles by Lawrence]

THE stars that open and shut
Fall on my shallow breast
Like stars on a pool.

The soft wind, blowing cool
Laps little crest after crest
Of ripples across my breast.

And dark grass under my feet
Seems to dabble in me
Like grass in a brook.

Oh, and it is sweet
To be all these things, not to be
Any more myself.

For look,
I am weary of myself!

[The end]
D. H. Lawrence's poem: Nonentity
