Ninety-four remains a little lonely, Incarcerated in her single room. Now quieted, now full of empty yearning, Each aged organ still with passion burning, To her betimes the body seems a tomb. Yet life itself is no less lithe and comely. Friends and loves long past live in her only, Open as a garden in full bloom. Upon her, then, a world of wonder turning Rides undaunted into gathering gloom.
