<h2><SPAN name="chap44"></SPAN>THE FAREWELL</h2>
<p class="poem">
What is more beautiful<br/>
Than thought, soul-fed,<br/>
That I may be the crimson of a rose<br/>
When dead?<br/>
<br/>
My soul, so light a joy<br/>
And grief will be,<br/>
That it will gently press the brown earth down<br/>
On me.<br/></p>
