Grieve not—it is the law. Love will be flying


Good-bye!—no, do not grieve that it is over,

   The perfect hour;

That the winged joy, sweet honey-loving rover,

   Flits from the flower.

Grieve not—it is the law. Love will be flying—

   Yes, love and all.

Glad was the living—blessed be the dying.

   Let the leaves fall.

A Farewell, Harriet Monroe
