Whenever I think of you, you are alone
Lesbia Harford 1891 (Brighton) – 1927 (Australia)
Whenever I think of you, you are alone,
Shut by yourself between
Great walls of stone.
There is a stool, I think, and a table there,
And a mat underneath your feet;
And the rest is bare.
I cannot stop remembering this, my own,
Seventeen hours of the day
You are alone.
