resshe turned her head
Fighting for breath; her cheeks were flushed to scarlet--
Andsuddenlyshe lay dead.
And all the dreams that hurried along her veins
Came to the darkness of a sudden wall.
Confusion ran among themthey whirled and clamored
They fellthey rosethey struckthey shouted
Till at last a pallor of silence hushed them all.

What was her name? Where had she walked that morning?
Through what dark forest came her feet?
Along what sunlit wallswhat peopled street?
Backward he dreamed along a chain of days
He saw her go her strange and secret ways
Waking and sleepingnoon and night.
She sat by a mirrorbraiding her golden hair.
She read a story by candlelight.
Her shadow ran before her along the street
She walked with rhythmic feet
Turned a cornerdescended a stair.
She bought a paperheld it to scan the headlines
Smiled for a moment at sea-gulls high in sunlight
And drew deep breaths of air.
Days passedbright clouds of days. Nights passed. And music Murmured within the walls of lighted windows.
She lifted her face to the light and danced.
The dancers wreathed and grouped in moving patterns
