Explore "After Death" by Edith Nesbit on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
IF we must part, this parting is the best: / How would you bear to lay / Your head on some warm pillow far away -- / Your head, so used to lying on my breast?
But now your pillow is cold; / Your hands have flowers, and not my hands, to hold; / Upon our bed the worn bride-linen lies.
