Death & Dying
Lady Louise
From The Defence of Guenevere and Other Poems
Death & Dying
Sister, let the measure swell
Not too loud; for you sing not well
If you drown the faint boom of the bell;
He is weary, so am I.
_And ever the chevron overhead
Flapped on the banner of the dead;
(Was he asleep, or was he dead?)_
