The Songs I Had

by Ivor Gurney

Ivor Gurney

The songs I had are withered
Or vanished clean,
Yet there are bright tracks
Where I have been,
And there grow flowers
For other's delight.
Think well, O singer,
Soon comes night.

    His Youth
    by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
    Dying? I am not dying. Are you mad? You think I need to ask for heavenly grace? I think you are a fiend, who would be glad To see me struggle in death's cold embrace.
