friend poem

i stood by the open casement
i heard the wind all day
within this lowly grave a conqueror lies
for then without
babylon-where i go dreaming
backward, turn backward
awful truths these be
friend, whose smile has come to be
when the veil from the eyes is lifted
that strange companion came on shuffling feet
darkest, strangest mystery
with lips blood red and heart of stone
