Requiescat

Author: Rennell Rodd [More Titles by Rodd]

He had the poet's eyes,
--Sing to him sleeping,--
Sweet grace of low replies,
--Why are we weeping?

He had the gentle ways,
--Fair dreams befall him!--
Beauty through all his days,
--Then why recall him?--

That which in him was fair
Still shall be ours:
Yet, yet my heart lies there
Under the flowers.

1881.
