short friendship poem

my sorrow, when she's here with me
how like the stars are these white, nameless faces
long ago, in the young moonlight
the smell of the rose so false, the thorns so true
old wine to drink
they in the darkness gather and ask
a blue-black nubian plucking oranges
i have known the silence of the stars and of the sea
sweet with fern and rose
doubtless i remember still
what do i owe to you
do i like it
