75
She died at play,
Gambolled away
Her lease of spotted hours,
Then sank as gaily as a Turn
Upon a Couch of flowers.
Her ghost strolled softly o'er the hill
Yesterday, and Today,
Her vestments as the silver fleece—
Her countenance as spray.

Comments1Wow, this poem really hit me hard. That bit about sinking gaily as a turn upon a couch of flowers got me. So beautiful but also real sad. You can actualy feel the spirit wandering. Speachless.
