Living
All Is Not Over While the Shade
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Living
All is not over while the shade
Of parting life, if now aslant,
Rests on the scene whereon it play'd
And taught a docile heart to pant.
Autumn is passing by; his day
Shines mildly yet on gather'd sheaves,
And, tho' the grape be pluckt away,
Its colour glows amid the leaves.
