ALABASTER1

    Like this alabaster box whose art Is frail2 as a cassia-flower, is my heart, Carven with delicate dreams and wrought3 With many a subtle and exquisite4 thought.

    Therein I treasure the spice and scent5 Of rich and passionate6 memories blent Like odours of cinnamon, sandal and clove7, Of song and sorrow and life and love.
