    Occupation Poet:

    Spring

    The air is full of dawn and spring; Outside the room I see
    A swallow, like a shaft of light, Shift sideways suddenly.

    There is no room for death at all In earth or heaven above;
    He never yet believed in death Who ever learned to love.

    Build me a tomb when I am dead, But leave a window free
    That I may watch the swallow?s flight, And spring come back to me.

    Build me a tomb of steel and stone, But leave one window free,
    That I may feel the spring come back-
    And you come back to me!
