| Poems (1906) | Link to further information |
Put by thy days like withered flowers
In twilight hidden away !
Memory shall up-build thee bowers
Sweeter than they.
Hoard not from swiftness of thy stream
The shallowest cruse of tears:
Pools still as heaven shall lovelier dream
In future years.
Squander thy love as she that flings
Her soul away on night;
Lovely are love's far echoings,
Height unto height.
O, make no compact with the sun,
No compact with the moon !
Night falls full-cloaked, and light is gone
Sudden and soon.
