Escape
Shadows, shadows,
Hug me round
So that I shall not be found
By sorrow:
She pursues me
Everywhere,
I can't lose her
Anywhere.
Fold me in your black
Abyss,
She will never look
In this,--
Shadows, shadows,
This “abyss” is a very vague and dark image.  It is also ironic that the “abyss” is usually associated with “a bottomless gulf or pit” (Merriam-Webster) and something intrinsically negative, yet it is what will ultimately protect her from sorrow.  Could it be death?  Is Johnson challenging the notion of heaven in the afterlife and rendering it more of an abyss?  This is also a one-word line, which, in addition to the enjambment, places emphasis on the word.
