Epilogue
THE lily, being white not red,
Contemns the vivid flower,
And men alive believe the dead
Have lost their vital power.
Contemns the vivid flower,
And men alive believe the dead
Have lost their vital power.
Yet some prefer the brilliant shade,
And pass the livid by;
And no man knows if dead men fade
Or bloom, save those that die.
And pass the livid by;
And no man knows if dead men fade
Or bloom, save those that die.
