Final Leave

ET me look at you, dear heart, for this hour Perhaps will be the last we'll ever share, And I must carry with me through the years ‘ A lasting memory of you standing { there; The old familiar smile on your proud mouth, That wayward lock of most unruly: r. OR you and I are but the pawns * of Fate, Held for a moment in her cruel hand, And all our dreams must now be set aside: Those golden hours which we so often planned Have trickled through the hour glass as time’s toll To write our love in shifting silver sand. ET us remember you as now you stand, Before my rebel tears dispel the scene. My heart is hungry for these memories; You- voice, your smile, your hands, so strong and leary I must recall them all when you are gone And I am-musing on the might-have-been. pha now, the last good-bye, I walk a way, My eyes all blinded by the bitter tears, Your kiss a benediction on my mouth, Forward I go to face those other years When Time and Fate will both conspire to win, And you no longer here to stave their

spears.
