Duncan Campbell Scott (Дункан Кэмпбелл Скотт)

Afterwards

Her life was touched with early frost,
About the April of her day,
Her hold on earth was lightly lost,
And like a leaf she went away.

Her soul was chartered for great deeds,
For gentle war unwonted here:
Her spirit sought her clearer needs,
An Empyrean atmosphere.

At hush of eve we hear her still
Say with her clear, her perfect smile,
And with her silver-throated thrill:
”A little while - a little while.”

Duncan Campbell Scott’s other poems:

1. The Voice and the Dusk
2. Rapids at Night
3. The Sea by the Wood
4. At William Maclennan’s Grave
5. In the Country Churchyard
