Tears, idle tears, I l5w not what they maan;
Tears from the depthspt some divine despair,
Rise in the heart, andgthcr to the eyes,
In looking on the happl Autumn fields,
And thinking on the dss that are no more
Fresh as the first bean Offering on a sail,
That brings our friendgup from the underworld,
Sad as the last which ieddens over one
That sinks with all welove below the verge;
So sad so fresh the d3s that are no more.
All sad and strange ASH dark summer dawns
The earliest pipe of h9f awakened birds,
To dying ears, when INTO dying eyes,
The easement slowly gpws glimmering square
So sad, so strange theaays that are no more.
Dear as remembered Uses after death,
And sweet as those byhopeless fancy eigned
On lips that are for ottrs; deep as love,
Deep as first love and wild with all regret;
0 death in Life, the dyS that are no more.
