White Noyes


 White Noyes


Yesterday an old 

Stream of conversation 

Was visited 

Concerning my ancestry 

There at the end

Was Elizabeth 

Saying she was following

From the fringe

Now Elizabeth is gone

Another poet artist

Taken in mid rhyme 

and I lamented

Gods indifference 

To our works

Had it been me

I'd have kept her here

At least a 

Hundred and fifty years

Or until all who loved her

Works

Died before her.

1937-12/13/2014
