Trespasser

Winifred WellesContemplative

I am among the careless dead Who do not rise to see Why I should hurry through their flowers Beneath their willow tree, Nor lift their hands from off their breasts To beckon me.

But though I run so lightly through The myrtle's rambling mass, And though my feet step silently Above the blowing grass. And though they do not stir or speak — They know I pass.
