The Heart of a Woman and Other Poems/Omega

by Georgia Douglas Camp Johnson

OMEGA

The fragile fabric of our dream
Drifts as a feather down life's stream—
The long defile of empty days
Grim silhouetted, mock my gaze.

Though oft escapes the stifled sigh,
A desert ever broods my eye—
Since you have utterly forgot,
God grant that I remember not!
