AN END OF SONG by DAVID HUDSON

First Line: THERE COMES NOT SONG AGAIN
Last Line: TO FORGET.

There comes not song again
When love has passed,
Nor any sound of music
That will last,

For when the lips have closed
On further breath
And unto sight the cryptic
Seal of death

Is placed, and in the hands
The tendons set,
There is no time remembering
To forget.
