Drowned Woman

by Elinor Wylie

Elinor Wylie

He shall be my jailer
Who sets me free
From shackles frailer
Then the wind spun sea.
He shall be my teacher
Who cries "Be brave,"
To a weeping creature
In a glass-walled cave
But he shall be my brother
Whose mocking despair
Dives headlong to smother
in the weeds of my hair.
