William Stanley Braithwaite, ed. (1878–1962). Anthology of Magazine Verse for 1920.

I Cannot Put You Away

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

Nor heed your knock,

But rest for a night and day

With you away.

And then I will find release

And empty peace,

In silence that will not cry

“It is I! It is I!”
