Epitaph

      [For her of whom I have written both "A million-souled angel this incarnate minute," and "When I in my lover's eye am cast aside," and felt both sayings true with the savage conviction of a ghost doomed to haunt the deathcamp of his last breath]
      In her cockle-slip of coffin
      My love lies lightly best;
      Out of my own small, sinned bones I begin
5     And shape one splinter to sail gigantic seas;
      I lay the red keel in my breast.
