Dorothy Parker (Дороти Паркер)

Finis

Now it's over, and now it's done;
  Why does everything look the same?
Just as bright, the unheeding sun,--
  Can't it see that the parting came?
People hurry and work and swear,
  Laugh and grumble and die and wed,
Ponder what they will eat and wear,--
  Don't they know that our love is dead?

Just as busy, the crowded street;
  Cars and wagons go rolling on,
Children chuckle, and lovers meet,--
  Don't they know that our love is gone?
No one pauses to pay a tear;
  None walks slow, for the love that's through,--
I might mention, my recent dear,
  I've reverted to normal, too.
