First Line: How strange that love should be like this
Last Line: Whose love was never told?
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Love - Complaints; Remorse
How strange that Love should be like this,
So miserly and mean;
To wrap such radiant corn in leaves
Where little can be seen.
When sweet affection wastes its time
On gravestones white and cold —
Shall we not pity their remorse,
Whose love was never told?
