I’ve found my resting place at Place de Meuse

I've found my resting place at Place de Meuse

"Daß, wenn des Tages Lichter schwanden,
Wie sonst der Abend uns vereint;
Und daß, wo sonst dein Stuhl gestanden,
Schon andre ihre Plätze fanden,
Und nichts dich zu vermissen scheint;..."

(Th. Storm in Einer Toten no. 2)

No more workers will be changing clothes here

No more workers changing clothes ...

“My father lies black and hushed
Beneath white hospital sheets
He collapsed at work
His iron left him
Slow and quiet he sank.”

My roof is a dark veil

"Von dunklem Schleir umsponnen
Ist mir das Tageslicht;
Wohl steigen neue Sonnen, --
Ich seh' sie nicht."

Pastorale

"Strephon kissed me in the spring,
  Robin in the fall,
But Colin only looked at me
  And never kissed at all.

Strephon's kiss was lost in jest,
  Robin's lost in play,
But the kiss in Colin's eyes
  Haunts me night and day."

(S. Teasdale in The look)

After he finished the dishes he left the kitchen

"How orderly the Kitchen'd look, by night,
With just a Clock --
But they could gag the Tick --
And Mice won't bark --
And so the Walls -- don't tell --
None -- will --"

(E. Dickinson in I know some lonely Houses off the Road)
