Death & Dying

In the Mile End Road

by Amy Levy 1861–1889

From A London Plane-Tree, and Other Verse

Death & Dying

How like her! But ’tis she herself,
Comes up the crowded street,
How little did I think, the morn,
My only love to meet!

Whose else that motion and that mien?
Whose else that airy tread?
For one strange moment I forgot
My only love was dead.
