Yet, we are falling,

Falling into the open mouths of darkness,

Into the Congo as if into a river,

Or as wheat into open mills.

With Pale Women in Maryland

With pale women in Maryland,

Passing the proud and tragic pastures,

And stupefied with love

And the stupendous burdens of the foreign trees,

As all before us lived, dazed

With overabundant love in the reach of the Chesapeake,

Past the tobacco warehouse, through our dark lives

Like those before, we move to the death we love

With pale women in Maryland.
