Charlotte Mew
In her sheltered stone bed,
Peaceful at last,
Safe from the beat
Of forbidden loves,
She took her truth with her,
Joined her brothers and sisters
And let them cure
Her tortured, sad soul-
But her poems!
They are the other world!
The world where longing
And love lie together
The world where bitterness
Becomes sweetness-
So rememeber her!
Remember her and smile!
