Subject(s): Aging; Death; Flowers; Graves; Memory; Dead, The; Tombs; Tombstones
Ah! had I Landor's power and pen
As you Ianthe's grace,
I first would kiss your hand, and then
Immortalize your face;
But since the Fates that rule the Muse
Have doomed me to eclipse,
And life is short, I cannot choose
But kiss you on the lips.
