Death & Dying
Ghosts
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.
