1583. Love’s Change

By Anne Reeve Aldrich


I WENT to dig a grave for Love,
But the earth was so stiff and cold
That, though I strove through the bitter night,
I could not break the mould.

And I said: “Must he lie in my house in state,	5
And stay in his wonted place?
Must I have him with me another day,
With that awful change in his face?”
