## The words

They told me,  
Heracleitus,  
they told me  
you were dead, They brought me bitter news to  
hear and bitter tears to shed;  
I wept as I remembered how often you and I  
Had tired the sun with talking and sent him  
down the sky.  
And now that thou art lying, my dear old Carian  
guest, A handful of grey ashes,  
long, long ago at rest,  
Still are thy pleasant voices, thy  
nightingales, awake.  
For Death, he taketh all away,  
But them he cannot take.
