第10章 SHE

AT HIS FUNERAL

They bear him to his resting-place -

In slow procession sweeping by;

I follow at a stranger's space;

His kindred they, his sweetheart I.

Unchanged my gown of garish dye, Though sable-sad is their attire;But they stand round with griefless eye, Whilst my regret consumes like fire!
