The travel-er: Byways and bygone and long nights long sun rays and sea waves and star and stone --- Man-less and friendless no cave my home this is my torture my long nights, lone...

She is most fair,
And when they see pass
The poets' ladies
Look no more in the glass
But after her.

On a bleak moor
Running under the moon
She lures a poet,
Once proud or happy, soon
Far from his door.

Beside a train
Because they saw her go,
Or failed to see her,
Travellers and watchers know
Another pain.

The simple lack
Of her is more to me
Than others' presence,
Whether life splendid be
Or utter black.

I have not seen,
I have no news of her;
I can tell only
she is not here, but there
She might have been.

She is to be kissed
Only perhaps by...
Only perhaps by someone,
She my be seeking
Me and no other; she
May not exist.
