On the Death of My Wife

Now you are gone and your lovely face has faded what shall I do with your rosy cheeks which live in my heart, but jaded. What shall I do with your deep dark eyes in which I drowned one day, and your beauteous ebon hair where moonbeams used to play. Now you are gone and I am in this field standing by a lonely sycamore I’ll think of you, and you will come to me my one true love, ma chérie d'amour.
