ANTHONY O DALY by JAMES STEPHENS

First Line: SINCE YOUR LIMBS WERE LAID OUT
Last Line: THERE IS NOTHING BUT GRIEF!
Subject(s): DEATH; GRIEF; DEAD, THE; SORROW; SADNESS;
Since your limbs were laid out
The stars do not shine!
The fish do not leap
In the waves!
On our meadows the dew
Is not sweet in the morn,
For O Daly is dead!
Not a word can be said!
Not a flower can be born!
Not a tree have a leaf!
Anthony!
After you
There is nothing to do!
There is nothing but grief!
