Epilogue

Helen Birch-Bartlett

BLUE-PURPLE,

The shadow of the earth

Circles the long horizon.

My life is circled

By the shadow of your love.

Blue-purple out there,

And over the blue

A rose-pink mist that rises—

That rising, fades.

No frail, flushed aureole

Crowns the shadow in my heart….

Unless this:

That you suffer a little and are often alone

Because of your love

That breathed upon such a pale flame.
