He and She : Part 2

He and she; yet she would not smile,
Though he call her the name she loved ere while.

He and she; but she would not speak,
Though he kissed, in the old place, the quiet cheek.

He and she; still she did not move
To any one passionate whisper of love.

Then he said: "Cold lips and breast without breath,
Is there no voice, no language of death,

Dumb to the ear and still to the sense,
But to heart and to soul distinct, intense?
