Death & Dying
By the Hearth-Stone
From Poems: New and Old
Death & Dying
By the hearth-stone
She sits alone,
The long night bearing:
With eyes that gleam
Into the dream
Of the firelight staring.
Low and more low
The dying glow
Burns in the embers;
She nothing heeds
And nothing needs--
Only remembers.
