Micra

Title:     Micra
Author: Edward Powys Mathers [More Titles by Mathers]

When you lie with me and love me,
You give me a second life of young gold;
And when you lie with me and love me not,
I am as one who puts out hands in the dark
And touches cold wet death.

From the Pus'hto of Mirza Rahchan Kayil (Afghans, nineteenth century).

-THE END-
Edward P. Mathers's Asiatic Love Poem: Micra
