Cuckoo Songs (1894)
II. Lament

By Katharine Tynan Hinkson (1861–1931)


YOU were like a light
In your place;
Fires of love burned bright
In your face,
Full of grace.	5
You were like a light in your place.

Like a light put out,
You are flown;
Night is dark about,
Ullagone!	10
Cold as stone.
Like a light put out you are flown.
