Now, though my Love seem buried past recall
And here no more this wandering radiant thing
Across my path his errant way shall wing,
I do not weep -- I do not grieve at all.
For I have built for him a great, stone wall
Within my heart and laid him softly there
Closed fast his eyes and smoothed his shining hair,
Planting about him lilies straight and tall.

It is not Love, but Love's last form lies dead
And that sealed stone within my heart will break,
Which rests so heavy now upon Love's head;
On some immortal dawn he will awake,
And, with Love's laughter shining in his eyes,
Wrapped in the garments of new life arise.
