No More

This is the Burden of the Heart,
 The Burden that it always bore:
We live to love; we meet to part;
 And part to meet on earth No More:
We clasp each other to the heart,
 And part to meet on earth No More.

There is a time for tears to start,—
 For dews to fall and larks to soar:
The Time for Tears, is when we part
 To meet upon the earth No More:
The Time for Tears, is when we part
 To meet on this wide earth—No More.

B.F. Willson.
