SARAH ORNE JEWETT: MISSING
(Theodora) Sarah Orne Jewett
(1849-1909)
Missing
You walked beside me, quick and free;
With lingering touch you grasped my hand;
Your eyes looked laughingly in mine;
And now ? I can not understand.
I long for you, I mourn for you,
Through all the dark and lonely hours.
Heavy the weight the pallmen lift,
And cover silently with flowers.
