E
When I at last, at last am dead,
Nor turn and sorrow in my sleep
Though you should linger overhead.
Beneath the waving graveyard grass;
One with the soul of wind and stream
I shall not heed you if you pass.
Too bitter were the tears I knew,
Too dark the road I needs must take—
The road that winds away from you.
