Enfans D'adam 9

Part of the cluster Enfans d'Adam.

9.

ONCE I passed through a populous city, imprinting  
 my brain, for future use, with its shows, architec- 
 ture, customs, and traditions;
Yet now, of all that city, I remember only a woman  
 I casually met there, who detained me for love  
 of me,
Day by day and night by night we were together,— 
 All else has long been forgotten by me,
I remember I say only that woman who passionately  
 clung to me,
Again we wander—we love—we separate again, Again she holds me by the hand—I must not go! I see her close beside me, with silent lips, sad and  
 tremulous.
