GONE

by: Henrik Ibsen

HE last, late guest

To the gate we followed;

Goodbye -- and the rest

The night-wind swallowed.

 

House, garden, street,

Lay tenfold gloomy,

Where accents sweet

Had made music to me.

 

It was but a feast

With the dark coming on;

She was but a guest --

And now, she is gone.
