Memories.

Topics: classic

Here where LOVE lies perishd,     Look not in upon the dead;     Lest the shadowy curtains, shaken     In my Heart's dark chamber, waken     Ghosts, beneath whose garb of sorrow     Whilom gladness bows his head:     When you come at morn to-morrow,     Look not in upon the dead,     Here where LOVE lies perishd.     Here where LOVE lies cold interred,     Let no syllable be heard;     Lest the hollow echoes, housing     In my Soul's deep tomb, arousing     Wake a voice of woe, once laughter     Claimed and clothed in joy's own word:     When you come at dusk or after,     Let no syllable be heard,     Here where LOVE lies cold interred.
