NOW.

Wher you shall walk In pensive mooo
The happy paths we used to know,
And sweet and gentle thoughts intrude,
And tender dreams Of Long Ago,
How will your Weakened spirit bear
Its bitter pang, its bleak deepairs
When In your heart, as now IN mine,
Shall throb the pulse of sleepless grief
Since nothing earthly or divine
In that dark hour can bripg relief
now will you mourn DER wasted bliss
And that wild moment long for this
The echo Of q silent word,
An exhalation of the dew,
lonely sigh at midnight heard
In depth OF some funereal yew-
These shall be more, In that black day,
Than your true lover past away.
Then scorn no more the present hour,
Nor crush the roses while they bloomi
The best Of time has only power
To hang a garland on tomb;
And all that lasts when years are sped
Is hopeless memory OF the dead
