Knowing that Love had put the dark to flight;

And I must sing more glad than any bird

Because the sun has filled my dream with light.

2.

Is it high noon, already, in the land?

O Love, I dreamed that morn could never pass;

That we might ever wander, hand in hand,

As children in June-meadows plucking flowers,

Through ever-waking, fresh-unfolding hours:

Yet now we sink love-wearied in the grass;
