Ezra Pound in The Spirit of Romance, pp. 184–5 (poem is unnamed).
Death, ‘gainst thine harshness I appeal
That hath torn my leman from me,
Thou goest not yet contentedly
Though of sorrow of thee none doth me heal.
No power or might did she e'er wield,
In life what harm e'er did she thee
Ah, Death!
Two we! that with one heart did feel,
If she is dead, how then, dividedly
Shal I live on, sans life in me.
Save as statues ‘neath thy seal
Thou Death!
