Time & Brevity
The Unreturning
From The Little Book of Modern Verse (1913)
Time & Brevity
The old eternal spring once more
Comes back the sad eternal way,
With tender rosy light before
The going-out of day.
The great white moon across my door
A shadow in the twilight stirs;
But now forever comes no more
That wondrous look of Hers.
