Now Let No Charitable Hope
by- Elinor Wylie - 1885-1928

Now let no charitable hope
Confuse my mind with images
Of eagle and of antelope;
I am in nature none of these.

I was, being human, born alone;
I am, being woman, hard beset;
I live by squeezing from a stone
The little nourishment I get.

In masks outrageous and austere
The years go by in single file;
But none has merited my fear,
And none has quite escaped my smile.

I stand on the sand, and I'm rocking grief to sleep in my arms.
