William and Emily

Edgar Lee Masters

THERE is something about Death Like love itself! If with some one with whom you have known passion And the glow of youthful love,

You also, after years of life Together, feel the sinking of the fire And thus fade away together, Gradually, faintly, delicately,

As it were in each other's arms, Passing from the familiar room — That is a power of unison between souls Like love itself!
