Where?

   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.
