Resemblance

By Donald Evans (1884–1921)


(From Discords, 1911) ONE dusk thy image for all time I caught,—
Thou stoodst before me whitely garmentless,
Thine eyes were flame and thy arms opened wide,
While thy red mouth made sound deliriously.
Thy tender flesh I gathered to my side	5
Until thy heart against my heart did press,
And in thy nubile body’s mystery
I found the speechless perfect joy I sought!
