Dante Gabriel Rossetti - A Death-Partin
Work rating: Low

LEAVES and rain and the days of the year, 
(Water-willow and wellaway,) 
All these fall, and my soul gives ear, 
And she is hence who once was here. 
(With a wind blown night and day.)
Ah! but now, for a secret sign, 
(The willow`s wan and the water white,) 
In the held breath of the day`s decline 
Her very face seemed pressed to mine. 
(With a wind blown day and night.)
O love, of my death my life is fain; 
(The willows wave on the water-way,) 
Your cheek and mine are cold in the rain, 
But warm they`ll be when we meet again. 
(With a wind blown night and day.)
Mists are heaved and cover the sky; 
(The willows wail in the waning light,) 
O loose your lips, leave space for a sigh,— 
They seal my soul, I cannot die. 
(With a wind blown day and night.)
Leaves and rain and the days of the year, 
(Water-willow and wellaway,) 
All still fall, and I still give ear, 
And she is hence, and I am here. 
(With a wind blown night and day.)
