By the deserted beach we walked

not a single word we said

the weary sky had lost its early shine

it was there farewell you bade



in our hearts we knew in brokenness

what we desired we ne'er could have had

love-vows and pledges had short memories

those who love most the saddest tears they must shed
* inspired by a painting of a lonely beach.   After Keats and Shelley
