Rain brings on a reflection.

Blessed Now Are Those Who Were Then So Young 

. 

Memory brings back a land of long ago 

Where silent phantoms walk I used to know. 

. 

They are free now of longings, hope, despair, 

Those lovers gone that formed a joyful pair. 

Blessed now those who were then so young, so fair, 

. 

Blessed for being forever unaware. 

Though not I who remain to think and stare 

. 

At the rain trickling down my winter pane. 

Slow drops, as we, return from whence they came, 

Wear down the stone that bears our faded name.
