Excerpt from The Carnival of Destiny To My Wife Lady, what of lovers true, When they lie down, two by two, Under linen bands and rue, Dead - who loved so truly? In the dim earth lie they low, Side by side, and do not know, With the worm for bedfellow, Dead - who loved so truly. Through the shroud and linen band They can touch nor knee nor hand, Give nor take nor understand, Dead - who loved so truly. Over them the dim years flow; Life calls to them "Live!" and, lo, They are flower and flower, and know, They who love so truly. So they pass the cycle through Love and die and live anew, Side by side; for lovers true, Love but once: forever.
