A WOMAN AT HER HUSBAND'S GRAVE by JOSEPH SEAMON COTTER JR.

First Line: PEACE TO HIS ASHES!
Last Line: BUT NEVER A LOVER.
Subject(s): LOVE - MARITAL; WEDDED LOVE; MARRIAGE - LOVE;

Peace to his ashes!
I cannot for the soul of me
Sorrowing bow,
Tho I search thru the heart of me
Grieve for him now.
'Tis well he is gone
And heart-break is over,
A husband he was
But never a lover.
