short poem

night was black and drear
the agony of having too much power
babylon-where i go dreaming
sweet splendor
dear wife
but i cannot read you now
her face is fair and smooth and fine
from song and dream for ever gone
against the green flame of the hawthorn-tree
wrap the earth in cloudy weather
tell me not
the sun is up
