For Love Beyond Death
"till death do us part"?

Sir Gerald had a fine lover
For many years they did love
Then, one eve, he found her library
And therein a curious book
It scorned the way that men and women met
It scorned how they vowed to love after death
The author averred that she lost the will
Until she learned that, beyond the grave,
A love existed unbounded by time
Then she sought death and the beyond

Sir Gerald had a fine lover
For many years they did love
Then he found her book and, beside, a note
His lover had taken her life
Sir Gerald lives alone, these days
He neither reads her book
Nor longs to love again
Slightly eerie poem about loving after death
