NEED
He came a little bewildered to her
breast;
Searching he came, asking surcease
from tears.
And found peace at last, at long last1
—rest
And safety and forgetfulness of
tears.
He took beneath her dark hair
darker solace.
And from her lips he drew a slow
sure fire.
He made of her eyes his sorrow's
hiding place.
And lonellr.e s lay quiet under de
sire
But ;f irom the silence of he:
breast lie sought
Her rlender restless hands, all peace
was shattered.
Watching their troubled moving he
grew distraught,
And their strange white secretness
was all that mattered.
Hr would turn back to her still
face wondering, pleading—
Why were her hands so lonely?
What were they needing?
