142. AN EPITAPH

Here lies a most beautiful lady,

Light of step and heart was she;

I think she was the most beautiful lady

That ever was in the West Country.

But beauty vanishes; beauty passes;

However rare--rare it be;

And when I crumble, who will remember

This lady of the West Country?

_Walter de la Mare._
