VI.

Algernon Charles Swinburne

How should life, O friend, forget Death, whose guest art thou? Faith responds to love's regret, How?

Still, for us that bow Sorrowing, still, though life be set, Shines thy bright mild brow. Yea, though death and thou be met,

Love may find thee now Still, albeit we know not yet How.
