A MAGIC MOMENT.
(By Lilian Whiting.)
I love you, love you! only this I have to say; All other visions, hopes and dreams Must go their way.
Your lightest word outweighs for me The universe beside; My thought responds to all your own As ocean’s tide
Unfailingly leaps up to meet The moon’s sure call; Or as the stars in evening skies Must shine for all.
Life is no longer drift and dream, But vivified; And all its radiance, all its faiths, Are multiplied.
Music and magic lay their spell Upon the days That dawn in rose and wane in gold And purple haze.
O wondrous spirit-call that came From out the air To make all life forevermore Divinely fair. —Harper’s Bazaar.
