Delia

by


    Sweet as the tender fragrance that survives,
    When martyred flowers breathe out their little lives,
    Sweet as a song that once consoled our pain,
    But never will be sung to us again,
    Is thy remembrance.    Now the hour of rest
    Hath come to thee.    Sleep, darling; it is best.
