Where?

    By Walter De La Mare



        Where is my love -
    In silence and shadow she lies,
Under the April-grey, calm waste of the skies;
        And a bird above,
    In the darkness tender and clear,
Keeps saying over and over, Love lies here!

        Not that she's dead;
    Only her soul is flown
Out of its last pure earthly mansion;
        And cries instead
    In the darkness, tender and clear,
Like the voice of a bird in the leaves, Love - love lies here.
