“The Lost Tribe

How long, how long must I regret?
I never found my people yet;
I go about, but cannot find
The blood-relations of the mind

Through my little sphere I range,
And though I wither do not change;
Must not change a jot, lest they
Should not know me on my way.

Sometimes I think when I am dead
They will come about my bed,
For my people well do know
When to come and when to go.

I know not why I am alone,
Nor where my wandering tribe is gone,
But be they few, or be they far,
Would I were where my people are!”
Ruth Pitter
“I gather up my loves, and keep them all warm”
Ruth Pitter, Collected Poems
“Solitary is our place, the castle in the sea,
And I muse on those I have loved, and on those who have loved me.”
Ruth Pitter, Collected Poems
