Love Lies Bleeding [56]

Love that is dead and buried, yesterday

Out of his grave rose up before my face;

No recognition in his look, no trace

Of memory in his eyes dust-dimmed and grey.

While I, remembering, found no word to say,

But felt my quickened heart leap in its place;

Caught afterglow thrown back from long set days,

Caught echoes of all music passed away.

Was this indeed to meet? – I mind me yet

In youth we met when hope and love were quick,

We parted with hope dead, but love alive:

I mind me how we parted then heart sick,

Remembering, loving, hopeless, weak to strive: –

Was this to meet? Not so, we have not met.
