Tell Me Why, Behind Thee

Title:     Tell Me Why, Behind Thee
Author: Stephen Crane [More Titles by Crane]

Tell me why, behind thee,
I see always the shadow of another lover?
Is it real,
Or is this the thrice damned memory of a
better happiness?
Plague on him if he be dead,
Plague on him if he be alive--
A swinish numskull
To intrude his shade
Always between me and my peace!

[The end]
Stephen Crane's poem: Tell Me Why, Behind Thee
