Love
They buried him — ah, I have not thought
From Underneath the Bough (1898)
Love
They buried him — ah, I have not thought-
It is thirteen years ago.
Whether the years have been long or short
I shall never know:
Only my heart cries out with tears
To go to him in his grave, to go
To the long, long years.
