WAS...
The wave hath burst white upon the beach.
Speak no more of it.
The leaf hath rotted. No more can it teach
But a moral for joy unfit.
The day hath ended. Who speaks of its morn
But must think of its night?
The old corpse is rotting. That it was once born
Seems a lie to the sight.
The heart hath broken; no more can it throb
With deep love or care.
Its voice hath vanished; no more can it sob
In its deep despair.
Thus all things do crumble and all doth pass,
But not always forgot:
For we feel it deep, and in the heart «was»
Meaneth but «is nob».
Speak no more of it.

But not always forgot:
For we feel it deep, and in the heart «was»
