At Refuge
By Lee Timberlake(1921) AT night | |
| Haunted and scant clad, | |
| I fled my sorrow | |
| Into a garden. | |
| Tall lillies | 5 |
| Pressed pale cheeks | |
| Against my ravished breast | |
| And shed golden tears. | |
| A rose vine | |
| Drew in her thorns | 10 |
| To passionately entwine my thighs, | |
| Bedewing my mouth, while | |
| Violets broke precious perfume | |
| Across my feet, | |
| And pansies pleaded wisdom, | 15 |
| With upturned judicial faces. | |
| I was comforted. | |
