I Cannot Put You Away

Herbert S. Gorman


I CANNOT put you away;
By night and day
You come in a dream and cry,
“It is I! It is I!”

I will rise and turn the lock	5
Nor heed your knock,
But rest for a night and day
With you away.

And then I will find release
And empty peace,	10
In silence that will not cry
“It is I! It is I!” New York Sun Books and the Book World
