Your dying was a difficult enterprise.

First, petty things took up your energies,

When I Heard At The Close Of The Day

© Walt Whitman

For the one I love most lay sleeping by me under the same cover in
the cool night,
In the stillness, in the autumn moonbeams, his face was inclined
toward me,
And his arm lay lightly around my breast-and that night I was happy.
