And thou art dead as young and fair	A
As aught of mortal birth	B
And form so soft and charm so rare	A
Too soon returned to Earth	B
Though Earth received them in her bed	C
And o'er the spot the crowd may tread	C
In carelessness or mirth	B
There is an eye which could not brook	D
A moment on that grave to look	D
	-
I will not ask where thou liest low	E
Nor gaze upon the spot	F
There flowers or weeds at will may grow	E
So I behold them not	F
It is enough for me to prove	G
That what I loved and long must love	H
Like common earth can rot	F
To me there needs no stone to tell	I
'Tis Nothing that I loved so well	I
	-
Yet did I love thee to the last	J
As fervently as thou	K
Who didst not change through all the past	J
And canst not alter now	K
The love where Death has set his seal	L
Nor age can chill nor rival steal	L
Nor falsehood disavow	K
And what were worse thou canst not see	M
Or wrong or change or fault in me	M
	-
The better days of life were ours	N
The worst can be but mine	O
The sun that cheers the storm that lours	N
Shall never more be thine	O
The silence of that dreamless sleep	P
I envy now too much to weep	P
Nor need I to repine	O
That all those charms have passed away	Q
I might have watched through long decay	Q
	-
The flower in ripened bloom unmatched	R
Must fall the earliest prey	Q
Though by no hand untimely snatched	R
The leaves must drop away	Q
And yet it were a greater grief	S
To watct it withering leaf by leaf	S
Than see it plucked today	Q
Since earthly eye but ill can bear	A
To trace the change to foul from fair	A
	-
I know not if I could have borne	O
To see thy beauties fade	T
The night that followed such a morn	O
Had worn a deeper shade	T
Thy day without a cloud hath past	J
And thou wert lovely to the last mdash	U
Extinguished not decayed	T
As stars that shoot along the sky	V
Shine brightest as they fall from high	V
	-
As once I wept if I could weep	P
My tears might well be shed	C
To think I was not near to keep	P
One vigil o'er thy bed	C
To gaze how fondly on thy face	N
To fold thee in a faint embrace	N
Uphold thy drooping head	C
And show that love however vain	O
Nor thou nor I can feel again	O
	-
Yet how much less it were to gain	O
Though thou hast left me free	M
The loveliest things that still remain	O
Than thus remember thee	M
The all of thine that cannot die	V
Through dark and dread Eternity	M
Returns again to me	M
And more thy buried love endears	N
Than aught except its living years	N
