When Life Is Quite Through With
when life is quite through withand leaves say alas,
much is to do
for the swallow,that closes
a flight in the blue;
when love's had his tears out,
perhaps shall pass
a million years
(while a bee dozes
on the poppies, the dears;
when all's done and said,and
under the grass
lies her head
by oaks and roses
deliberated.)
E.E. Cummings
Comments
how does it differ from the meaning you find in it?
=============
when one dies,
(and every thing dies)
friends are affected.
but they get over it in time.
(to nature, time is meaningless
and oaks and roses are sufficient to sort out what needs to be sorted.)
