WHERE? (1), by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Where is my love
Last Line: Love lies here.
Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter


Where is my love --
In silence and shadow she lies,
Under the April-grey calm waste of the skies;
And a bird above,
In the darkness tender and clear,
Keeps saying over and over, Love lies here!

Not that she's dead;
Only her soul is flown
Out of its last pure earthly mansion;
And cries instead
In the darkness, tender and clear,
Like the voice of a bird in the leaves, Love --
Love lies here.
