Lost Youth, come back again! <br />Laugh at weariness and pain. <br />Come not in dreams, but come in truth, <br />Lost Youth. <br /> <br />Sweetheart of long ago, <br />Why do you haunt me so? <br />Were you not glad to part, <br />Sweetheart? <br /> <br />Still Death, that draws so near, <br />Is it hope you bring, or fear? <br />Is it only ease of breath, <br />Still Death?<br /><br />Robert Fuller Murray<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-time-of-sickness/
