First Line: Long after we are gone, beloved one
Last Line: Will live again in some far fragrant spring.
Subject(s): Immortality
Long after we are gone, beloved one,
There will be meadows warm beneath the sun,
Capricious, springtime, lilac-scented rain
And apple-blossoms down a country lane;
New gardens starred with blue forget-me-nots,
Syringa-blooms and stately tulip-plots.
There will be willows graceful, green and cool
That bend and trail light fingers in a pool,
Moon-silvered skies above a trellised bower.
Dear, we have known them all in life's brief hour --
Rich beauty and our love commingling
Will live again in some far fragrant spring.
