Worth Dying For

Leonardo Alenza

The Suicide

Worth Dying For

If we shall live, we live:

If we shall die; we die:

If we live we shall meet again:

But to-night, good-bye.

One word, let but one be heard-

What, not one word?

If we sleep we shall wake again

And see to-morrow's light:

If we wake, we shall meet again:

But to-night,good-night.

Good-night, my lost and found-

Still not a sound?

If we live, we must part;

If we die, we part in pain:

If we die, we shall part

Only to meet again.

By those tears on either cheek,

To-morrow you will speak.

To meet, worth living for:

Worth dying for, to meet,

To meet, worth parting for:

Bitter forgot in sweet.

To meet, worth parting before,

Never to part more.

~ Christina Rossetti ~
