Edna St. Vincent Millay

Dirge

Boys and girls that held her dear,
Do your weeping now;
All you loved of her lies here.
 
Brought to earth the arrogant brow,
And the withering tongue
Chastened; do your weeping now.
 
Sing whatever songs are sung,
Wind whatever wreath,
For a playmate perished young,
 
For a spirit spent in death.
Boys and girls that held her dear,
All you loved of her lies here.
