THE LEAF

This silver-edged geranium leaf

Is one sign of a bitter grief

Whose symbols are a myriad more;

They cluster round a carven stone

Where she who sleeps is never alone

For two hearts at the core,

Bound with her heart make one of three,

A trinity in unity,

One sentient heart that grieves;

And myriad dark-leaved memories keep

Vigil above the triune sleep,--

Edged all with silver are the leaves.
