It Vanished

By Grace Hodsdon Boutelle


To C. A. B. CAN it matter to you and me
Where the hurrying years have fled,
Since they told me you ceased to be,
Since the day when they called you dead?
Death? As a cobweb spun	5
By night on the dew-drenched grass,
It vanished … I saw you pass
With your face to the rising sun.
