Robert Perceval Graves, Lady Ferrguson - ZaunköniG - 22.11.2015
LADY FERGUSON.
Thus spake he when he saw her rising tear :
" Mary, you must be brave. Though now we part,
We shall be reunited ! " and her heart
Drank in with sad delight the tender cheer.
Nor could she but be sad, when he was near
Who soon would be so far ; when every art
To keep him here was baffled ; when the dart
Of ruthless Death must strike a life so dear.
In all things she was Partner of his Mind ;
Felt with him as a Poet, with her own
His joy in Shakespeare matched ; nor fell behind
His quest of Bardic lay and Ogham stone.
And partner is she still ; to her is given
His " All is well ! " to breathe in hope of Heaven.
