Dying, you have left behind you the great sadness of the Eternal br in my life. You have painted my thought's horizon with the sunset br colours of your departure, leaving a track of tears across the br earth to love's heaven. Clasped in your dear arms, life and death br united in me in a marriage bond. br I think I can see you watching there in the balcony with your br lamp lighted, where the end and the beginning of all things meet. br My world went hence through the doors that you opened-you holding br the cup of death to my lips, filling it with life from your own.
