Dirge - Robert Calverley Trevelyan

Return to Chapter List
Gone is he now.
One flower the less
Is left to make
For thee less lone
Earth’s wilderness,
Where thou
Must still live on.
What hath been, ne’er
May be again.
Yet oft of old,
To cheat despair,
Tales false and fair
In vain
Of death were told.
O vain belief!
O’erweening dreams!
Trust not fond hope,
Nor think that bliss
Which neither seems,
Nor is,
Aught else than grief.
