Love And Death |
Behold the flashing waters |
A cloven dancing jet, |
That from the milk-white marble |
For ever foam and fret; |
Far off in drowsy valleys |
Where the meadow saffrons blow, |
The feet of summer dabble |
In their coiling calm and slow. |
The banks are worn forever |
By a people sadly gay: |
A Titan with loud laughter, |
Made them of fire clay. |
Go ask the springing flowers, |
And the flowing air above, |
What are the twin-born waters, |
And they’ll answer Death and Love. |
With wreaths of withered flowers |
Two lonely spirits wait |
With wreaths of withered flowers |
'Fore paradise’s gate. |
They may not pass the portal |
Poor earth-enkindled pair, |
Though sad is many a spirit |
To pass and leave them there |
Still staring at their flowers, |
That dull and faded are. |
If one should rise beside thee, |
The other is not far. |
Go ask the youngest angel, |
She will say with bated breath, |
By the door of Mary’s garden |
Are the spirits Love and Death. |
