Crazy Jane and Jack the Journeyman
| I know, although when looks meet | | I tremble to the bone, | | The more I leave the door unlatched | | The sooner
love is gone, | | For love is but a skein unwound | | Between the dark and dawn. | | | | | | A lonely ghost the ghost is | | That to God shall come; | | I—love’s skein upon the ground, | | My body in the tomb— | | Shall leap into the light
lost | | In my mother’s womb. | | | | | | But were I left to lie alone | | In an empty bed, | | The skein so bound us ghost to
ghost | | When he turned his head | | Passing on the road that night, | | Mine would walk being dead. |
