Release by Adelaide Crapsey

 

Release

With swift
Great sweep of her
Magnificent arm my pain
Clanged back the doors that shut my soul
From life.

The Lonely Death by Adelaide Crapsey

The Lonely Death

In the cold I will rise, I will bathe
In waters of ice; myself
Will shiver, and shrive myself,
Alone in the dawn, and anoint
Forehead and feet and hands;
I will shutter the windows from light,
I will place in their sockets the four
Tall candles and set them a-flame
In the grey of the dawn; and myself
Will lay myself straight in my bed,
And draw the sheet under my chin.

Well and
If day on day
Follows, and weary year
On year. . and ever days and years. .
Well?

Amaze by Adelaide Crapsey

Amaze

I know
Not these my hands
And yet I think there was
A woman like me once had hands
Like these.

Niagara by Adelaide Crapsey

 

Niagara

Seen on a Night in November
How frail
Above the bulk
Of crashing water hangs,
Autumnal, evanescent, wan,
The moon.

Snow poem by Adelaide Crapsey

Snow

Look up…
From bleakening hills
Blows down the light, first breath
Of wintry wind…look up, and scent
The snow!
