Subject(s): Death; Dead, The


SO Mary died last night ! To-day
The news has travelled here.
And Robert died at Michaelmas,
And Walter died last year.

I went at sunset up the lane,
I lingered by the stile ;
I saw the dusky fields that stretched
Before me many a mile.

I leaned against the stile, and thought
Of her whose soul had fled --
I knew that years on years must pass
Or e'er I should be dead.
