The Shade

Title:     The Shade
Author: Walter De la Mare [More Titles by De la Mare]

Darker than night; and oh, much darker she,
Whose eyes in deep night darkness gaze on me.
No stars surround her; yet the moon seems hid
Afar somewhere, beneath that narrow lid.
She darkens against the darkness; and her face
Only by adding thought to thought I trace,
Limned shadowily: O dream, return once more
To gloomy Hades and the whispering shore!

[The end]
Walter De la Mare's poem: Shade
