Love
I saw the day's white rapture
From The Home Book of Verse, ed. Burton Egbert Stevenson (1918)
Love
I saw the day's white rapture
Die in the sunset's flame,
But all her shining beauty
Lives like a deathless name.
Our lamps of joy are wasted,
Gone is Love's hallowed light;
But you and I remember
Through every starlit night.
