retirement poem

i was a goddess ere the marble found me
as i lie roofed in, screened in
see i give myself to you
one sweetly solemn thought
a mist was driving down
high-born race
i have to say good-night
if i should die, think only this of me
the agony of having too much power
i make my shroud, but no one knows
a pen of steel
let a joy keep you
i bid them all farewell
