Amy Levy - Twilight
Work rating: Low

So Mary died last night! To-day
    The news has travelled here.
And Robert died at Michaelmas,
    And Walter died last year.

I went at sunset up the lane,
    I lingered by the stile;
I saw the dusky fields that stretched
    Before me many a mile.

I leaned against the stile, and thought
    Of her whose soul had fled—
I knew that years on years must pass
    Or e`er I should be dead.
