Afraid

The Third Sex Issue 2, article 3 (September 1930)

  • The sun is hidden
  • The rose is blooming
  • Where is the morning
  • From which yesterday escapes?
  • Where the caressing radiance of the world
  • Where the pleasing sounds fall down upon,
  • That which radiates from people’s eyes,
  • That flows against us on our paths?
  •      There I want to be.
  •      And in my heart
  •      Trading pain for
  •      Peace within.
