Adelaide Crapsey - Pierrot
Work rating: Low

For Aubrey Beardsley`s picture 

"Pierrot is dying" 


Pierrot is dying: 

Tiptoe in, 

Finger touched to lip, 

Harlequin, 

Columbine and Clown. 


Hugh! how still he lies 

In his bed, 

White slipped hand and white 

Sunker head. 

Oh, poor Pierrot. 


There`s his dressing gown 

Across the chair, 

Slippers in the floor. . . 

Can he hear 

Us who tiptoe in? 


Pillowed high he lies 

In his bed; 

Listen Columbine. 

"He is dead." 

Oh, poor Pierrot.
