Edna St. Vincent Millay (Эдна Сент-Винсент Миллей)

Epitaph

Heap not on this mound
Roses that she loved so well:
Why bewilder her with roses,
That she cannot see or smell?

She is happy where she lies
With the dust upon her eyes.

1. Inland
2. Exiled
3. Two Sonnets in Memory
4. When the Year Grows Old
5. Not Even My Pride Shall Suffer Much
