In Memory of... IV

Description

He disappeared in the dead of winter:
The brooks were frozen, the airports almost deserted,
And snow disfigured the public statues;
The mercury sank in the mouth of the dying day.
What instruments we have agree
The day of his death was a dark cold day.

(from "In Memory of W.B. Yeats" by W.H. Auden)

Photographed at Loudon Park Cemetery, Baltimore, Maryland USA
