To Amy Lowell

by Eunice Tietjens, 1919

who visits me in a hospital


Like a fleet with bellying sails,
Like the great bulk of a sea-cliff with the staccato bark
     of waves about it,
Like the tart tang of the sea breeze
Are you;
Filling the little room where I lie straitly on a white
     island between pain and pain.
