Sapphics No. 9
The clock is ticking too fast; the seconds fly
Away without you e'en faster than they do
Before you. Kiss me again, my love—my life's
In your gentle hands.

The seasons change all too soon; the days go by
And I forget what you meant to me. I knew
I'd miss you. Hold me again, my love—the strife's
Not enough for me.
