Here you will find the Poem The Heart Cry of poet Francis William Bourdillon

The Heart Cry

She turned the page of wounds and death 
With trembling fingers. In a breath 
The gladness of her life became 
Naught but a memory and a name. 

Farewell! Farewell! I might not share 
The perils it was yours to dare. 
Dauntless you fronted death: for me 
Rests to face life as fearlessly.
