English poem
La Mort Est Toujours Fidèle!
by Marie Van Vorst (1867–1936)
Gone!... And steal the shadows grey Where our window shone Late with lights; too soon are they Gone.
All that Heaven won When it took you, love, away My heaven’s built upon:--
“Joy of life--Come back a day!” But the path leads on Through the night.... Grief wakes to say “Gone!”
