<p>"We rode in sorrow, with strong hounds three,
Bran, Sgeolan, and Lomair,
On a morning misty and mild and fair.
The mist-drops hung on the fragrant trees,
And in the blossoms hung the bees.
We rode in sadness above Lough Lean,
For our best were dead on Gavra's green."</p>
<p>And then, later in life, although W.B. Yeats may not have been the best it is so well known it barely needs mention;</p>
<p>"Cast a cold Eye
On Life, on Death.
Horseman, pass by."</p>

<p>"A woman lives for as long as we carry her inside us,
For as long as we carry the harvest of her dreams,
For as long as we ourselves live,
Holding memories in common, a woman lives.
"
i imagine she would be so touched to know she touched you so much.
