The Spike or Victoria University College Review 1932
Song of Death
Song of Death
After the life which estranged and severed us,
After the years with their burden of pain,
After he sorrow, transcending its bitterness.
See, I return to you, find you again.
All that life snatched from you, all things denied you,
All the lost beauty, the dream-world you knew,
In one brief, glad moment, after all weariness
Loved one, all loveliness I bring to you.
