Padraic Colum - Young Girl: AnnamPadraic Colum - Young Girl: Annam
Work rating: Low


I AM a young girl; I live here alone: I write long letters But there is no one For me to send them to. My heart Teaches me loving words to use, But I can repeat them only In the garden, to the tall bamboos. Expectantly I stand beside the door. I raise The hanging mat. I, The letter folded, gaze out And see shadows of the passers-by. In the garden the fire-flies Quench and kindle their soft glow: I am one separated, But from whom I do not know.
