Edward Rowland Sill (Эдвард Роулэнд Силл)
Lost Love
BURY it, and sift Dust upon its light,— Death must not be left, To offend the sight. Cover the old love— Weep not on the mound— Grass shall grow above, Lilies spring around. Can we fight the law, Can our natures change— Half-way through withdraw— Other lives exchange? You and I must do As the world has done, There is nothing new Underneath the sun, Fill the grave up full— Put the dead love by— Not that men are dull, Not that women lie,— But 't is well and right— Safest, you will find— That the Out of Sight Should be Out of Mind.
