Christina Georgina Rossetti

My Friend

Two days ago with dancing glancing hair,
With living lips and eyes:
Now pale, dumb, blind, she lies;
So pale, yet still so fair.
 
We have not left her yet, not yet alone;
But soon must leave her where
She will not miss our care,
Bone of our bone.
 
Weep not; O friends, we should not weep:
Our friend of friends lies full of rest;
No sorrow rankles in her breast,
Fallen fast asleep.
 
She sleeps below,
She wakes and laughs above:
To—day, as she walked, let us walk in love;
To—morrow follow so.
