Death & Dying
The Dying Lover
From The Home Book of Verse, ed. Burton Egbert Stevenson (1912)
Death & Dying
The grass that is under me now
Will soon be over me, Sweet;
When you walk this way again
I shall not hear your feet.
You may walk this way again,
And shed your tears like dew;
They will be no more to me then
Than mine are now to you!
