THE SHATTERED DREAM, by                    
First Line: Not often do I come to kneel
Last Line: And you alone will understand.
Subject(s): Mourning; Bereavement


Not often do I come to kneel
Beside your body's resting place.
The low sweet murmur of the summer winds
Brings to me sound of a loved voice forever stilled,
And in the tender glow of evening star
I see your face;
The beauty and the fragrance of a flower
Recall for me one blissful hour,
A kiss, the tender pressure of your hand;
And ere I close my eyes in sleep
I know where'er you are
That you will hear my,
"Goodnight, dear, and pleasant dreams."
And you alone will understand.
