REQUIESCAT

Rennell Rodd

He had the poet's eyes, — Sing to him sleeping,— Sweet grace of low replies, — Why are we weeping?

He had the gentle ways, — Fair dreams befall him!— Beauty through all his days, — Then why recall him?—

That which in him was fair Still shall be ours: Yet, yet my heart lies there Under the flowers.
