Subject(s): Grief; Sorrow; Sadness
Pines, and a blur of lithe young grasses;
Gold in a pool, from the western glow;
Spread of wings where the last thrush passes --
And thoughts of you as the sun dips low.
Quiet lane, and an irised meadow . . .
(How many summers have died since then?) . . .
I wish you knew how the deep'ning shadow
Lies on the blue and green again!
Dusk, and the sweep of field and hollow
Etched in gray when a star appears:
Sunset, . . . twilight, . . . and dark to follow, . . .
And thoughts of you thro' a mist of tears.
