I, Who Fade with the Lilacs
I,
And with the roses fade,
Am sharing this hour with them
Conferring in the shade.
With which it first began
To make Pierrot a poet,
In making him a man.
In all the sorry years,
But was a sailing glory
Upon a sea of tears.
On shores too near or far,
Hitching, forever hitching
Ships—shallops to a star.
