Their faces shone under some radiance
Of mingled moonlight lamplight
That turned the empty kisses into meaning,
The of such penny love
Into a costly country, the
That neighboured them to wells of warmth,
(And skeletons sap). One minute
Their faces shone; the midnight rain
pointed in the wind,
Before the moon shifted and sap ran out,
She, in her cheap frock, saying cheap thing,
And he replying,
Not knowing radiance came passed.
The suicides parade again, now ripe for dying.
