In Death Divided
I shall rot here, with those whom in their day
You never knew
And alien ones who, ere they chilled to clay
Met not my view
Will in your distant grave-place ever neighbour you
No shade of pinnacle or tree or tower
While earth endures
Will fall on my mound and within the hour
Steal on to yours;
One robin never haunt our two green covertures
Some organ may resound on Sunday noons
By where you lie
Some other thrill the panеs with other tunes
Wherе moulder I;
No selfsame chords compose our common lullaby
The simply-cut memorial at my head
Perhaps may take
A Gothic form, and that above your bed
Be Greek in make;
No linking symbol show thereon for our tale's sake
And in the monotonous moils of strained, hard-run
Humanity
The eternal tie which binds us twain in one
No eye will see
Stretching across the miles that sever you from me
You never knew
And alien ones who, ere they chilled to clay
Met not my view
Will in your distant grave-place ever neighbour you
No shade of pinnacle or tree or tower
While earth endures
Will fall on my mound and within the hour
Steal on to yours;
One robin never haunt our two green covertures
Some organ may resound on Sunday noons
By where you lie
Some other thrill the panеs with other tunes
Wherе moulder I;
No selfsame chords compose our common lullaby
The simply-cut memorial at my head
Perhaps may take
A Gothic form, and that above your bed
Be Greek in make;
No linking symbol show thereon for our tale's sake
And in the monotonous moils of strained, hard-run
Humanity
The eternal tie which binds us twain in one
No eye will see
Stretching across the miles that sever you from me
