First Line: An april dusk she may return
Last Line: Of one who grieves.
Subject(s): Mourning; Bereavement
An April dusk she may return
To linger near a favored spot
And bend above a rose she
Might have plucked.
No sound of footfall
There will be,
No words outspoken --
Only the perfume
Of a shadow flower she wears;
A whispered snatch of song
On wind that stirs quiet leaves
And cools the tear-wet cheek
Of one who grieves.
