In life I shall not hold you again -

I've held the box your ashes are in -

Or moon about 'remember when'

For I've your picture by my side

Caught in a flash of happiness-

Saying 'Get lost!' To all distress

With shining eyes and a smile so wide

Above all these your strength is there

To lift me up and bid me dare

To know you’s joy – and your demise?

The thrilling kiss, the soul that cries…
