To an Unknown Woman
To an unknown woman
Who lived ages ago:
I wish that you could know
The thoughts that I summon.
When your man did not return,
When the roof thatch got too old,
When seasons began to turn,
When you became deathly cold,
Tell me, dear misery’s wife,
Did you hope to see Spring?
How did you finish life?
Did you dream of anything?
I would have helped you stand.
I would have stilled your heart.
Had the years played no part,
I would have held your hand.
