By Cuckoo Songs (1894). II. Lament

Katharine Tynan Hinkson (1861–1931)

YOU were like a light

In your place;

Fires of love burned bright

In your face,

Full of grace.

You were like a light in your place.

Like a light put out,

You are flown;

Night is dark about,

Ullagone!

Cold as stone.

Like a light put out you are flown.
