The Dance

As the Wind, and as the Wind,
 In a corner of the way,
Goes stepping, stands twirling,
Invisibly, comes whirling,
Bows before, and skips behind,
 In a grave, an endless play—

So my Heart, and so my Heart,
 Following where your feet have gone,
Stirs dust of old dreams there;
He turns a toe; he gleams there,
Treading you a dance apart.
 But you see not. You pass on.
