In the shade rise the colors of all you love And one by one everything is gone. No Not all but way too much the shade of What was fading till the less and less of What once was but death you who were From the beginning with me and who did Paint with exquisite beauty all that I ever Loved are now my last companion,faithful To the end, a friend to stand against all the Loss. If you leave me then I shall truly be Alone It ii is a light too great, a light without the Night. Blinding. Oh death do not desert me. I know I have raged against the dying of the Light but now I know better. Death did shade My eves did make me see and love the other. Oh Death must be born again for all I have Loved is Naught if not for thee-that has been revealed The Last shall be the first. Hidden charity is its ensign.
