Shattered

Youth love broken; 
        bitter lament, low earthen floor.
      Dreamed a dream, dominant image spoken, 
        painful idle no more.
  Defile taste of the grave-mound as they lie crumbled. 
  Painful overwhelming grief they stand and stumbled. 
    Muddle, confused, down they tumbled; 
  precious memories of love and strength awoken.
