END OF A TUNE, by                    
First Line: Must the tune end
Last Line: Bitter and blind?


Must the tune end
Here in the dark?
What could it mend
In its brief arc?
After all's over
Can a tune bring
Back a dead lover
To a dead spring?
Does it denote
Anything more
Than an old boat
By a dim shore
Riding the tides
Free to the wind
As a ghost rides
Bitter and blind?
