First Line: I went to dig a grave for love
Last Line: "with that awful change in his face?"
Subject(s): Love
I WENT to dig a grave for Love,
But the earth was so stiff and cold
That, though I strove through the bitter night,
I could not break the mould.
And I said: "Must he lie in my house in state,
And stay in his wonted place?
Must I have him with me another day,
With that awful change in his face?"
