KIRCHNER

KIRCHNER Remembering my darling husband Jaap (Seumas), who died on 16th July, 2002. But how could I forget thee? Through what power, Even for the least division of an hour, Have I been so beguiled as to be blind To my most grievous loss? - That thought's return Was the worst pang that sorrow ever bore, Save one, one only, when I stood forlorn, Knowing my heart's best treasure was no more; That neither present time, nor years unborn Could to my sight that heavenly face restore. (W. Wordsworth) (Je Heathertje)
