One Star

The Third Sex Issue 2, article 5 (September 1930)

  • Roll in, your hurried clouds
  • Spread them out in eternal distance
  • But you cannot chase me
  • The one — single star.

  • Because I know me, my soul
  • Hurts and fills with darkest Night
  • O, grant me the star’s light,
  • It is my laugh of relief.

  • You find on our paths
  • Such deep sadness and hurt
  • But you will never behold
  • Such an anxious, quaking heart.

  • — Roll in, your hurried clouds,
  • Spread them out in eternal distance,
  • But you cannot chase me
  • The one — single star. — —.
