Finis

Now it's over, and now it's done

Why does everything look the same?

Just as bright, the unheeding sun

Can't it see that the parting came?

People hurry and work and swear

Laugh and grumble and die and wed

Ponder what they will eat and wear

Don't they know that our love is dead?



Just as busy, the crowded street

Cars and wagons go rolling on

Children chuckle, and lovers meet

Don't they know that our love is gone?

No one pauses to pay a tear

None walks slow, for the love that's through

I might mention, my recent dear

I've reverted to normal, too
