And learned of love beneath a younger sun.

Mazeltov

To-day is still the day that sweet word came

Yet must I watch it ebb to Time’s great sea

And there to mingle with eternity,

Lose sense and form and be no more a name.

And yet ’tis still the day. The words I frame,

While ocean-like night’s mists rise stealthily;

Beneath my window here there spreads a sea
