Poem by Aline Murray Kilmer

The Harp

I HAVE a harp of many strings
But two are enough for me:
One is for love and one for death;
And what would the third one be?

Before I learn another note
I may forget and go,
So while my hand is light and sure
I play on the strings I know.

1. Shards
2. Bound
3. To Sappho, about Her Apple
4. Ambition
5. Light Lover
