| To Her Who Passes |
| | | Maurice Browne |
| |
| |
| HER footsteps fall in silent sands; | |
| Her hands are cool like growing leaves; | |
| The fingers of her hovering hands | |
| Touch lightly, pass; and time bereaves | |
| The benison of her caress | 5 |
| Of peace, or pain, or bitterness. | |
| |
| The kisses of her mouth like dew | |
| Rain gently down; if she has sinned, | |
| That she had sinned she never knew; | |
| Lightly she walks upon the wind, | 10 |
| And like the wind she leaves no trace | |
Upon the quiet of this place.
