WILL, by                    
First Line: Something I give to all my loves
Last Line: But I loved silence best.
Subject(s): Kisses; Love; Memory; Silence; Soul


Something I give to all my loves
A dream, a song, a kiss,
A lasting hurt, a memory --
But never gave I this:

The whole of me, the soul of me,
The deep integral part;
The lovely and the awful things
Locked close within my heart.

These I bequeath to silence now;
Let no one dare contest.
Something I give to all my loves;
But I loved silence best.
