Gone Before

Title:     Gone Before
Author: Marietta Holley [More Titles by Holley]

Smooth the hair;
Silken waves of sunny brown
Lay upon the white brow down,
Crowned with the blossoms rare;
Lilies on a golden stream,
Ne'er to float in summer air
Wreathed with meadow daisies fair.
Lay away the broken crown
And your broken dream,
With one shining tress of hair,
Nevermore to need your care.

[The end]
Marietta Holley's poem: Gone Before
