LX

When I have departed,

Say but this behind me,

"Love was all her wisdom,

All her care.

"Well she kept love's secret—5

Dared and never faltered—

Laughed and never doubted

Love would win.

"Let the world's rough triumph

Trample by above her, 10

She is safe forever

From all harm.

"In a land that knows not

Bitterness nor sorrow,

She has found out all 15

Of truth at last."
