Appointment

Maurice Lesemann

I COME from many hours of lonely

Laughter with my friend, and from many

Hours of whispering at the knees

Of a dark scornful girl I know.

I come from a swamp where gray rain glistens,

From headlands bleak under the blow;

And to any lonely man who listens

I will speak quietly of these

Before I light my pipe and go.
