London Poets

 (In Memoriam.
)


They trod the streets and squares where now I tread,
With weary hearts, a little while ago;
When, thin and grey, the melancholy snow
Clung to the leafless branches overhead;
Or when the smoke-veiled sky grew stormy-red
In autumn; with a re-arisen woe
Wrestled, what time the passionate spring winds blow;
And paced scorched stones in summer:--they are dead.


The sorrow of their souls to them did seem
As real as mine to me, as permanent.

To-day, it is the shadow of a dream,
The half-forgotten breath of breezes spent.

So shall another soothe his woe supreme--
"No more he comes, who this way came and went.
"
