What was Love's worth,
Who lived with the roses ?-
Love that is earth,
And with earth reposes !
What was Love's wonder ?-
Scent of the flowers
After the thunder,
Thunder, and showers !
What were the breathless
Words that he said ?-
Love that was deathless,
Love that is dead !. . .
Echo hath taken
The song, and flown;
None shall awaken
Music and moan.
Buds and the flower,
All that Love found,
Last but an hour,
Strewn on his mound.
Requiescat
Clark Ashton Smith
