SPIRIT BRIDAL, by                    
First Line: She sleeps within a sheltered marbled close
Last Line: Beneath the moon to-night?
Subject(s): Brides; Love - Loss Of; Tragedy


SHE sleeps within a sheltered marbled close
Amid her quiet kin of yesterday,
And all the marvel of her beauty's rose
Has vanished quite away.

Far 'neath an alien sky his body lies
That was so filled with blood of youthful pride,
And all unmarked, unheeded of men's eyes,
Where last he fought and died.

Yet who shall say their spirits held not tryst
In unapparent realms of Love's delight,
And that their souls, earth-freed, clung not and kissed
Beneath the moon to-night?
