Pastel

THE light of our cigarettes
Went and came in the gloom:
It was dark in the little room.

Dark, and then, in the dark,
Sudden, a flash, a glow,
And a hand and a ring I know.

And then, through the dark, a flush
Ruddy and vague, the grace--
A rose--of her lyric face.

[The end]
Arthur Symons's poem: Pastel
