| The Ghost written by William Henry Davies |
| From "Love Poems" (1935) | Link to further information |
Seek not to know Love's full extent,
For Death, not Life, must measure Love;
Not till one lover's dead and gone,
Is Love made strong enough to prove.
What woman, with a ghostly lover,
Can hold a mirror to her hair?
A man can tell his love with tears,
When but a woman's ghost is there.
Our greatest meeting is to come,
When either you or I are lost:
When one, being left alone in tears,
Confesses to the other's ghost.
