Nature

Night is fallen within, without

by Mary E. Coleridge 1861–1907

From Poems (1908)

Nature

Night is fallen within, without,
Come, Love, soon!
I am weary of my doubt.
The golden fire of the Sun is out,
The silver fire of the Moon.

Love shall be
A child in me
When they are cinders gray,
With the earth and with the sea,
With the star that shines on thee,
And the night and day.
