Heraclitus
	They told me, Heraclitus, 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.
    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 gray 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.
