WEARINESS
by: Witter Bynner (1881-1968)
- HERE
is a dear weariness of love...
- Hand relaxed in hand,
- Shoulder at rest upon shoulder.
- And to me that pool of weariness is more wonderful
- Than crater, cataract,
- Maelstrom, earthquake...
- For it is a double pool
- In which lie, silent,
- The golden fishes of sleep.
