Love
Heart-Breaks and Songs
From A Last Harvest
Love
Heart-breaks and songs, —
Fate, leave us these,
Since no man prolongs
Love's joy and peace.
Summer was fair,
Though it was fleet, —
Cold now the air,
No breath is sweet.
Faint is the sun, —
Roses are dead;
Lingers not one,
Dear, for your head.
Heart-breaks and songs, —
Fate leave us these,
Since no man prolongs
Love's joy and peace.
