And IL he triumshs tlu skies may fall,

And made you long for what might have been
Or IA the future this written word
May plead vs. TIA notes in my voice uuheard
To make you pause at the broken line
And sigh and say, "All his lie was miue,"
All, then perchauoe ! shall hear the grass
Pressed softly hack as your footsteps pass
To bring whore my sightless eyes may see
The tear for my grave, denied TO me.
Nay, do not come. for think my love
Would burst the ccrements, the weight above,
And my fierce arms strive through turf and

For you, with that force you feared Of old!
No. no; would not that all the pain

With never q scar to be revealed;
When we two meet in the coming years,
