THE days, the doubts, the dreams… Are over, not to come again, And from the menace of the night Has dawned the day-star of delight… My baby lies against me pressed—
GOOD-NIGHT, my Heart, my Hear… Oh, good and dear and fair, With lips of life and eyes of ligh… And roses in your hair. To-morrow brings the other crown,
I HAD a star to sing by, a beaut… But when I sang of its splendour… ‘Sweet are your songs, yet the sin… He hymns but stars unbeholden of u… Glow-worms we see and marshlights;…
