Northern Ariadne.
“I love you,” he said;
“Nothing shall change me.”
O on the wild sea-shore,
Character her name in the sand.
And so to the violent
Last of winter. Ice and snow
Cold hug the land.
They walk the shore,
Hand holding hand:
He speaks: “I must go away.”
Close my the waves roar
In the final dimness of day.
Oh on the wild sea-shore
Character his name in sand.
Cynic's Version.
He said, “I love you:
Nothing shall change me”:
And it did.
