Living
A Memory
From Oklahoma Sunshine (1905)
Living
A scarlet on the maples,
A daisy down below,
And perfumes of the gardens
That blossomed long ago!
Love lifts the face of morning,
And walks the twilight late,
And one is there beside me
And leans across the gate!
Love sings her angel music
Through all the laughing days,
And we, the lovers, loiter
Adown the rosy ways.
O, scarlet of the maples,
O, daisies down below,
And perfumes of the gardens
That blossomed long ago!
