When those we love die,
Not for what was, fall
Desolate tears.
No, our hearts bleed worse
For days in which we to them
Hoped to be better
Than ever we were.
Death, like a wordling,
Robs the poor future,
Not the rich past,
Drains lure and glamour from
Hours that were coming on,
Gay with fond glances
Good with long talks.
