| 41. Mist Forms |
| THE SHEETS of night mist travel a long valley. | |
| I know why you came at sundown in a scarf mist. | |
| What was it we touched asking nothing and asking all? | |
| How many times can death come and pay back what we saw? | |
| In the oath of the sod, the lips that swore, | 5 |
| In the oath of night mist, nothing and all, | |
| A riddle is here no man tells, no woman. |
