Ernest Christopher Dowson - Venite DescendamusErnest Christopher Dowson - Venite Descendamus
Work rating: Low


Let be at last; give over words and sighing,     Vainly were all things said:   Better at last to find a place for lying,     Only dead.   Silence were best, with songs and sighing over;     Now be the music mute;   Now let the dead, red leaves of autumn cover     A vain lute.   Silence is best: for ever and for ever,     We will go down and sleep,   Somewhere beyond her ken, where she need never     Come to weep.   Let be at last: colder she grows and colder;     Sleep and the night were best;   Lying at last where we cannot behold her,     We may rest.
