POEMS BY ISAAC ROSENBERG<br />
Unfathomable is my mouth's dream<br />
Do not men say ?<br />
So secret are my far eyes,<br />
"Weaving for iron men profound subtleties.<br />
Sorceress they name me<br />
And my eyes harden, and they say,<br />
" How may those eyes know love<br />
If God made her without a heart?<br />
" Her tears, her moaning,<br />
Her sad profound gaze,<br />
The dishevelled lustres of her hair<br />

Moon-storm<br />
''<br />
like" they say,<br />
" These are her subtleties ,1 men say.<br />
My husband sleeps,<br />
The ghosts of my virgin days do not trouble him<br />
His sleep can be over-long,<br />
For there is that in my embers<br />
Pride and blushes of fire, the outraged blood,<br />
His sleep makes me remember.<br />
Sleep, hairy hunter ; sleep !<br />
You are not hungry more,<br />
Having fed on my deliciousness<br />
Your sleep is not adultery to me,<br />
