REQUIESCAT
What was Love's worth,Who lived with the roses?—Love that is earth,And with earth reposes!
What was Love's wonder?—Scent of the flow'rsAfter the thunder,Thunder, and show'rs!
What were the breathlessWords that he said?—Love that was deathless,Love that is dead!********Echo hath takenThe song, and flown;None shall awakenMusic and moan.
Buds and the flower,All that Love found,Last but an hourStrewn on his mound.
