Death & Dying

Ghosts

by Mary E. Coleridge 1861–1907

From Poems (1908)

Death & Dying

Come, gentle ghosts, from that far-distant shore
Of those that look no more upon the sun.
We love you ever as we loved before,
We could not fear you now the day is done;
One ghost alone I fear, the ghost of one
That lives— but loves and is beloved no more.
