Wilfrid Scawen Blunt - On A Grave In The ForestWilfrid Scawen Blunt - On A Grave In The Forest
Work rating: Low


Hush, gentle stranger. Here lies one asleep In the tall grass whom we must not awaken. For see, the wildest winds hush here and keep Silence for her and not a leaf is shaken, Lest she should wake and find herself forsaken. Close to my feet aweary did she creep And slept, and she is sweetly still mistaken Deeming I stand by her and watch her sleep. --Hush, gentle stranger! One as gentle lies In this poor grave, and weep before you go For one who knew no weeping, yet abode Among our human sorrows and was wise With tenderer sympathy than tears can show, The gentlest kindliest creature made by God.
