No or yes?


II

Oh, the end, I'd say!
Such a foolish thing
(Pure girls' play!)
As a mere mute heart,
Was it worth a kiss, a ring,
This? for two must part--
Not to-day.


III

Look, the whole sand crawls,
Hums, a heaving hive,
Scrapes and scrawls--
Such a buzz and burst!
Here just one thing's not alive,
One that was at first--
But life palls.


IV

Yes, my heart, I know,
Just my heart's stone dead--
Yes, just so.
