LOVE will live while the pale stars glow, while the world shall last, On the present hopes, and in hours of woe, on a dreamy past, Love will live, while the flowers bloom, and the meadows wave; Nor yet be quenched by the charnel tomb the ghastly grave; For o'er the tomb and the silver stars, to the gates above The soul will seek in the great Afar the Endless Love. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SURVIVOR AMONG GRAVES by RANDALL JARRELL SUBJECTED EARTH by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE GRAVE OF MRS.
