Love

Love came back at Fall o' Dew

by Lizette Woodworth Reese 1856–1935

From The Little Book of Modern Verse (1913)

Love

Love came back at fall o' dew,
Playing his old part;
But I had a word or two
That would break his heart.

"He who comes at candlelight,
That should come before,
Must betake him to the night
From a barred door."

This the word that made us part
In the fall o' dew;
This the word that brake his heart --
Yet it brake mine, too.
