Second April: PASSER MORTUUS EST

Explore "Second April: PASSER MORTUUS EST" by Edna St. Vincent Millay on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.

Death devours all lovely things;

Lesbia with her sparrow

Shares the darkness, -- presently / Every bed is narrow.

Unremembered as old rain / Dries the sheer libation, / And the little petulant hand / Is an annotation.

After all, my erstwhile dear, / My no longer cherished, / Need we say it was not love, / Now that love is perished?
