First Line: You knew my fancies, whims, desires
Last Line: Oh, so long ago.
Subject(s): Death; Dead, The
You knew my fancies, whims, desires,
And followed well my mental paths,
You whipped my courage, kindled fires,
And laved my fears with dust of stars
To make me brave.
And yet how strange you should not know
That I was buried in a grave,
Oh, so long ago.
