SHORT POEMS — 1890-1900

The Lost Deliverer

Pythian he came; repressed beneath his heel

The hydra of the world with bruisèd head.

Vainly, since Fate's immeasurable wheel

Could parley with a straw. A weakling sped

The bullet when to custom's usual night

We fell because a woman's faith was light.

1890/92
