A LAST HARVEST 41 ALAS! Alas for all high hopes and all desires ! Like leaves in yellow autumn-time they fall — Alas for prayers and psalms and love's pure fires- One silence and one darkness ends them all ! Alas for all the world — sad fleeting race ! Alas, my Love, for you and me Alas ! Grim Death will clasp us in his close embrace We, too, like all the rest from earth must pass. Alas to think we must forget some hours Whereof the memory like Love's planet glows- Forget them as the year her w...ithered flowers — Forget them as the June forgets the rose ! 42 A LAST HARVEST Our keenest rapture, our most deep despair, Our hopes, our dreads, our laughter, and our tears Shall be no more at all upon the air — No more at all, through all the endless years. We shall be mute beneath the grass and dew In that dark Kingdom where Death reigns in state- And you will be as I, and I as you — One silence shed upon us, and one fate. A LAST HARVEST 43 MY LIFE PUTS FORTH TO SEA ALONE My life puts forth to sea alone ; The skies are dark above ; All round I hear grey waters moan- Alas for vanished love !
