Love
To a Golden Haired Girl in a Louisiana Town
From Modern American Poetry (1921)
Love
You are a sunrise,
If a star should rise instead of the sun.
You are a moonrise,
If a star should come in the place of the moon.
You are the Spring,
If a face should bloom instead of an apple-bough.
You are my love,
If your heart is as kind
As your young eyes now.
