MISERICORDIA.

Misericordia!
Weep with me.
Waneth the dusk light;
Strange the tree;
In regions barbarous
Lost are we.


I, Glycera,
And Silas here,
Who hath hid in sleep
His eyes from fear;
Wan-wide are mine
With a tear.


Misericordia!
Was I born
Only to pluck
Disaster's thorn?
Only to stray
Forlorn?
