Explore "Finality" by Georgia Douglas Johnson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When love's triumphant day is done, / Go forward! leave me to the night / Beneath the coldly staring stars, / The waiting winter and its blight.
For I would never hold the heart / That mutely quivers to be free, / Unfurl your restless wings -- away!
And leave the emptiness to me.
