A poem by Aldous Huxley

The Alien

________________________________________________
Title:     The Alien
Author: Aldous Huxley [More Titles by Huxley]

A petal drifted loose
From a great magnolia bloom,
Your face hung in the gloom,
Floating, white and close.

We seemed alone: but another
Bent o'er you with lips of flame,
Unknown, without a name,
Hated, and yet my brother.

Your one short moan of pain
Was an exorcising spell:
The devil flew back to hell;
We were alone again.







[The end]
Aldous Huxley's poem: Alien
