One Who Died Young
With her 't is well now. She died young, With all her hope and faith unmarred, Nor lived to see the pearls, Love strung, Without regard, Cast, lost among The disillusions that make life so hard. Time on her body now can lay No soiling hand and spoil what's fair: He shall not turn the gold hair gray, Nor bring crabbed Care, Day after day, To line the white brow with the heart's despair. Far better thus. Yea, even so, To die before faith turns to dust, Before the heart has learned to know, As learn it must, Of love the woe, And of all human life the deep disgust.
