Because I liked you better
Than it suits a man to say
It irked you and I promised
To throw the thought away
To put the world between us,
We parted stiff and dry.
"Goodbye" and you "Forget me"
"I will, no fear", said I
If here where clover whitens,
The dead man's knoll you pass
And no tall flower to meet you
Starts in the trefoiled grass
Halt by the headstone naming
A heart no longer stirred
And say the one who loved you
Was one who kept his word.
