In Memoriam A. H. H.: Is It, Then, Regret for Buried Time

Is it, then, regret for buried time
       That keenlier in sweet April wakes,
       And meets the year, and gives and takes
   The colours of the crescent prime?
   Not all: the songs, the stirring air,
       The life re-orient out of dust,
       Cry thro’ the sense to hearten trust
   In that which made the world so fair.
   Not all regret: the face will shine
      Upon me, while I muse alone;
      And that dear voice, I once have known,
  Still speak to me of me and mine:
 
  Yet less of sorrow lives in me
      For days of happy commune dead;
      Less yearning for the friendship fled,
  Than some strong bond which is to be.
