Tattered Eucalyptus trees—
Ragged rocks by sullen seas—
Sailing seagulls screaming
Like lost souls, seeming.
A mocking bird singing
Trees long shadows flinging—
Hearts aching tenderly—
O Memory! Memory!
Ghost-thoughts walk
Tonight, and talk, talk—
Leaves murmur, breathless—
O Memory, deathless!
The mocking bird sang then,
It must sing again:
Nothing dies, forever dead,
Arbutus springs from snowy bed!
