Suddenly flickered a flame, <br />Suddenly fluttered a wing: <br />What, can a dead bird sing? <br />Somebody spoke your name. <br /> <br />Suddenly fluttered a wing, <br />Sounded a voice, the same, <br />Somebody spoke your name: <br />Oh, the remembering! <br /> <br />Sounded a voice, the same, <br />Song of the heart's green spring, <br />Oh, the remembering: <br />Which of us was to blame? <br /> <br />Song of the heart's green spring, <br />Wings that still flutter, lame, <br />Which of us was to blame? — <br />God, the slow withering!<br /><br />Leonora Speyer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/suddenly-25/
