Cold and Quiet.Cold, my dear,—cold and quiet.In their cups on yonder lea,Cowslips fold the brown bee’s diet ;So the moss enfoldeth thee.“ Plant me, plant me, O love, a lily flower—Plant at my head, I pray you, a green tree ;And when our children sleep,” she sighed,“ at the dusk hour,And when the lily blossoms, O come outto me !”Lost, my dear ? Lost ! nay, deepestLove is that which loseth least ;Through the night-time while thousleepest,Still I watch the shrouded east.Near thee, near thee, my wife that aye liveth,“ Lost” is no word for such a love as mine ;Love from her past to me a present giveth,And love itself doth comfort, making paindivine.Rest, my dear, rest. Fair showethThat which was, and not in vainSacred have I kept, God knoweth,Love’s last words atween us twain.“ Hold by our past, my only love, my lover ;Fall not, but rise, O love, by loss of me !”Boughs from our garden, white with bloomhang over.Love, now the children slumber, I comeout to thee.
