In Memoriam A.H.H.
Is
it, then, regret for buried time
That keenlier in sweet April wakes,
And meets the year, and gives and takes
The
colours of the crescent prime?
Not
all: the songs, the stirring air,
The life re-orient out of dust,
Cry thro’ the sense to hearten trust
In
that which made the world so fair.
Not
all regret: the face will shine
Upon me, while I muse alone;
And that dear voice, I once have known,
Still
speak to me of me and mine:
Yet
less of sorrow lives in me
For days of happy commune dead;
Less yearning for the friendship fled,
Than
some strong bond which is to be.
