Rencontre


MY heart, which beat so passionless,
        Leaped high last night when I saw you.
Within me surged the grief of years
        And whelmed me with its endless rue.
My heart which slept so still, so spent,
        Awoke last night-to break anew."

Written by Jessie Redmon Fauset (1882-1961)
