Title: No More
Author: Madison Julius Cawein [ More Titles by Cawein]
I. The slanted storm tossed at their feet The frost-nipped Autumn leaves; The park's high pines were caked with sleet And ice-spears armed the eaves. They strolled adown the pillared pines To part where wet and twisted vines About the gate-posts flapped and beat. She watched him dimming in the rain Along the river's misty shore, And laughed with lips that sneered disdain "To meet no more!" II.
'Mong heavy roses weighed with dew The chirping crickets hid; Down the honeysuckle avenue Creaked the green katydid. The scattered stars smiled thro' the pines; Thro' stately windows draped with vines The rising moonlight's silver blew. He stared at lips proud, white, and dead, A chiseled calm that wore; Despair moaned on the lips that said "To meet no more."
