On Two Sisters Whose Deaths Were Together

IN woods remote, hid in the mountain hollows, Doves there are that have a gentler beauty, Doves that are marked as by a poet's image, And hence are called Doves of the Wounded Heart. And such ye were, and we could never learn the Call that would bring you to our breasts, our hands! And such ye were, and ye were aliens in our Barnyard-world Doves of the Wounded Heart! You who were proud no storm had ever turned your Flight, and you who were her cherished one May ye have found, hid in your mountain hollows, Your wood remote, Doves of the Wounded Heart!
