Fallen Asleep" is so tender and touching,
that we quote it here:
Only little dust
So small that rose might hide it;
And trust in Color try to trust,
When | kneel in dark beside it.
| kneel in the dark and say
| only dream that | weep;
She would not leave me and 90 away
She has only fallen asleep.
Fallen asleep, as oft
she climbed to my heart to rest,
Her white arms twining my neck, as soft
AS down on doves sweet breast
Ienderly-unawaIe
Sleep came in the waning light
And kissed her there on the twliligh
stairs
That lead to the morning light
And that she will wake | know,
And smile at grief like this;
1t could not be she would leave me so,
With never . goodnight kiss
So kneel in the dark and say
| only dream that | weep;
She would not leave me and go away
She has only fallen asleep
