Arthur Symons - Perfect GriefArthur Symons - Perfect Grief
Work rating: Low


The wandering, wise, outcast sons Of Pharaoh, the dark roofless ones, Taught me this wisdom: if Death come, And take thy dear one, be thou dumb, Nor gratify with suppliant breath The attentive insolence of Death. Suffer thy dear one to depart In silence; silent in thy heart, From this forth, be thy dear one`s name. So I, that would not put to shame So dear a memory dead, repeat No more the sweet name once too sweet. Nor, from that buried name, remove The haughty silence of my love.
