Collected English Verse — Stephen Phillips. b. 1864, d. 1915

1864-1915

897   The Apparition

MY dead Love came to me, and said:
   ‘God gives me one hour’s rest
To spend upon the earth with thee:
   How shall we spend it best?’
‘Why, as of old,’ I said, and so
   We quarrell’d as of old.
But when I turn’d to make my peace
   That one short hour was told.
