A LOVER FOR DEATH by EDWARD RALPH CHEYNEY

First Line: OH, WHO WILL FIND A LOVER FOR DEATH AND FOR HER ONLY?
Last Line: AND ALL WHO SLEEP WITH HER LIE CURIOUSLY STILL.
Subject(s): DEATH; DEAD, THE;
Oh, who will find a lover for Death and for her only?
Though all men kiss her lips, they kiss against their will.
Oh, pity Death! Wistful she is and exquisite and lonely;
And all who sleep with her lie curiously still.
