come lie red roses upon my breast
wet with dew and tears
kiss my lips one more time
before you leave my heart
then cover me gently in autumns sheet
This is a poetry,prose,Haiku and writing site
Edna St. Vincent Millay
1916
My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends-
It gives a lovely light!

"wet with dew and tears" - "before you leave my heart". Sad and beautiful.
Thanks yet once again for reading my poetry. It is so nice of you to come by again.
