The pathos in your face is like a peace	A
It is like resignation or a grace	B
Which smiles at the surcease	B
Of hope But there is in your face	B
The shadow of pain and there is a trace	B
Of memory of pain	C
	-
I look at you again and again	D
And hide my looks lest your quick eye perceives	B
My search for your despair	E
I look at your pale hands I look at your hair	E
And I watch you use your hands I watch the flare	E
Of thought in your eyes like light that interweaves	B
A flutter of color running under leaves	B
Such anguished dreams in your eyes	B
And I listen to you speak	F
Words like crystals breaking with a tinkle	G
Or a star's twinkle	G
Sometimes as we talk you rise	B
And leave the room and then I rub a streak	F
Of a tear from my cheek	F
	-
You tell me such magical things	B
Of pictures books romance	B
And of your life in France	B
In the varied music of exquisite words	B
And in a voice that sings	B
	-
All things are memory now with you	H
For poverty girds	B
Your hopes and only your dreams remain	C
And sometimes here and there	E
I see as you turn your head a whitened hair	E
Even when you are smiling most	I
And a light comes in your eyes like a passing ghost	I
And a color runs through your cheeks as fresh	J
As burns in a girl's flesh	J
Then I can shut my eyes and feel the pain	C
That has become a part of you though I feign	C
Laughter myself One sees another's bruise	B
And shakes his thought out of it shuddering	K
So I turn and clamp my will lest I bring	K
Your sorrow into my flesh who cannot choose	B
But hear your words and laughter	L
And watch your hands and eyes	B
	-
Then as I think you over after	L
I have gone from you and your face	B
Comes to me with its grace	B
Of memory of unfound love	M
You seem to me the image of all women	N
Who dream and keep under smiles the grief thereof	M
Or sew or sit by windows or read books	B
To hide their Secret's looks	B
And after a time go out of life and leave	O
No uttered words but in their silence grieve	O
For Life and for the things no tongue can tell	P
Why Life hurts so and why Love haunts and hurts	B
Poor men and women in this demi hell	P
	-
Perhaps your pathos means that it is well	P
Death in his time the aspiring torch inverts	B
And all tired flesh and haunted eyes and hands	B
Moving in pain d whiteness are put under	L
The soothing earth to brighten April's wonder	L
