Classic and Contemporary Poetry
GOING, by LAURA E. THOMPSON
First Line: One must leave while his heart is aglow
Last Line: Till the grave has no need of a tear.
First Line: One must leave while his heart is aglow
Last Line: Till the grave has no need of a tear.
One must leave while his heart is aglow,
While life is full to the overflow
And arms ache to hold him here;
And one waits long for his turn to go,
Till his eyes grow dim and his thoughts run slow,
Till the grave has no need of a tear.
