Living and Dead.

Grape on my neighbor's door,
Windows barred from the light;
And know il is hushed forevermore,
The voice that heard last night
Heard as sat apart,
With my own grief at my heart.
For the night was far, spent,
The dreary dawn was near,
And no one of the steps that came and
went
Was the step waited to hear;
Waiting, heart-sick, in vain, I
l could hear that voice of pain
Inarticulate cries
And longedrawn, wailing moan,
That brought the sudden tears to my eyes
For the neighbor all unknown
The tears that would not flow
For my own unuttered woe.
Only wall, ah me
Between two souls distressed
Two souls in their hour of agony,
And whose was the bitterest
God only knows. For mine,
Grape on my neighbor's doer
Tells the end of his pain;
But, as for mine, as it was before,
So it will be again,
The saddest tears we shed
Are not, alasl for the dead.
