The Song That Lasts

________________________________________________
Title:     The Song That Lasts
Author: Richard Le Gallienne [More Titles by Le Gallienne]

Songs I sang of lordly matters,
Life and death, and stars and sea;
Nothing of them now remains
But the song I sang for thee.

Vain the learned elaborate metres,
Vain the deeply pondered line;
All the rest are dust and ashes
But that little song of thine.

[The end]
Richard Le Gallienne's poem: Song That Lasts
