BURY thy dead, dear friend, Between the night and day: Where depths of summer shade are cool, And murmurs of a summer pool And windy murmurs stray'' . Bury thy dead, dear love, And make his bed most fair above: The latest buds shall still Blow there, and the first violets too, And there a turtle-dove Shall brood and coo'' . Bury thy dead heart-deep: Take patience till the sun be set: There are no tears for him to weep, No doubts to haunt him yet: Take comfort, he will not forget. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MOUNTAIN IS STRIPPED by DAVID IGNATOW AS CLOSE AS BREATHING by MARK JARMAN UNHOLY SONNET 1 by MARK JARMAN UNHOLY SONNET 13 by MARK JARMAN BIRTH-DUES by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE SILENT SHEPHERDS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GOING TO THE HORSE FLATS by ROBINSON JEFFERS IT IS FINISHED' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI ITALIA, IO TI SALUTO!' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE HEART KNOWETH ITS OWN BITTERNESS' (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
