The End Of Laughter

Title:     The End Of Laughter
Author: Richard Le Gallienne [More Titles by Le Gallienne]

O never laugh again!
Laughter is dead,
Deep hiding in her grave,
A sacred thing.
O never laugh again,
Never take hands and run
Through the wild streets,
Or sing,
Glad in the sun:
For she, the immortal sweetness of all sweets,
Took laughter with her
When she went away
With sleep.

O never laugh again!
Ours but to weep,
Ours but to pray.

[The end]
Richard Le Gallienne's poem: End Of Laughter
