Love
Fragment: Such love as mourning Husbands have
From Complete Poetical Works, ed. E. H. Coleridge (1912)
Love
Such love as mourning Husbands have
To her whose Spirit has been newly given
To her guardian Saint in Heaven--
Whose Beauty lieth in the grave--
Far liker to a Flower now than when alive,
Cold to the Touch and blooming to the eye.
