Chapter X

It was a sepulchre I have been wooing:
Fair to behold was she and seeming warm,
But deep within as cold as death itself,
And to love's fervent pleadings irresponsive;
Aye, even as the tomb.
Deaf to the voice of poetry and love,
Alas! she's doubly deaf.
It was a sepulchre I have been wooing.

The October issue of THE
GLEBE will present "The
Azure Adder," a one-act
comedy by Charles Demuth.
