Background
A description of the experience
Never say never [Adapted from William Johnson Cory]
They told me, sweet sweet darling, that you were gone forever
It was such bitter news to hear - that word, that word that ‘never’
I cried as I remembered, how often you and I
Had tired the sun with making love and sent him from the sky
But now that you are lying here, my dear beloved, spent
Gone are those strident voices, I wonder where ‘never’ went?
Beside me in this soft white bed, eyes closed and half awake
For Time has robbed me of some years, but you he could not take
