<h3><i>Enough of Singing</i></h3>
<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">Enough of singing; since your heart is tired,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">We’ll leave the lute, so long, so long desired,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">And in the silence speak one quiet word,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Simple as earth, forgetting song and bird.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">No more of singing; mating-time has sped,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">In the broad fields the poppy-lips are red.<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Crush them, Beloved, drink the lethe deep;<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Song being dead, what else is left but sleep?<br/></span></div>
