“We’ll Meet Again”

~ Vera Lynn

“I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the hard ground…/ The answers quick and keen, the honest look, the laughter, the love,/ They are gone. They are gone to feed the roses. Elegant and curled…/ But I do not approve./ More precious was the light in your eyes than all the roses in the world./ Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave/ Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;/ Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave./ I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.”
