They will bring their boarded kindness
When our ears are deaf TO love;
When the grasses wave ahuyc
And hewail their prr-ent blindness.
When We cannot heed regret
They will waste their shallow tears,
As IL such could puy arrears
Or discharge the living debt
They must know We shall not crave
sunshine IN yon grim retreat
Gifts Of life, however sweet.
Yet they Keep them for the grave.
Though the grave has hut despair.
And but hollow echoes wait
All who knock al bat weird gate,
sim they pour their treasure there.
Let the snowy shaft aspire;
We shall never read the lie:
Grief uprears the marble high,
But remOrse can rear II higher.

When 10 love our lips are dumb:
Then our laggard friends will come
And strew flowers overhead.
