Wow! That's a challenge to think about. Helen oft makes a good start, as she has here.

I don't *think this is the kind of thing you're looking for, but its sentimentality is appealing and perhaps belongs to a particular period, like the contemporaneous sentimental Victorian painters.

Pierrette in Memory
By William Griffith
1876-1936
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pierrette has gone, but it was not
Exactly that she died,
So much as vanished and forgot
To tell where she would hide.

To keep a sudden rendezvous,
It came into her mind
That she was late. What could she do
But leave distress behind?

Afraid of being in disgrace,
And hurrying to dress,
She heard there was another place
In need of loveliness.

She went so softly and so soon,
She hardly made a stir;
But going took the stars and moon
And sun away with her
