I spoke to the pale and heavy lidded woman and saidB
O pale and heavy lidded woman why is your cheekC
Pale as the dead and what are your eyes afraid lest they speakC
And the woman answered me I am pale as the deadB
For the dead have loved me and I dream of the deadB
-
But I see in the eyes of the living as a living fireD
The thing that my soul in triumph tells me I have forgotE
And therefore mine eyelids are heavy and I raise them notE
For always I see in the eyes of men the old desireD
And I fear lest they see that I desire their desireD
