First lines

From dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn,

We two are sundered always, sweet. A few stars shake o'er the rocky lawn And the cold sea-shore when we meet. The twilight comes with thy shadowy feet.

We are not day and night, my Fair, But one. It is an hour of hours. And thoughts that are not otherwhere Are thought here 'mid the blown sea-flowers, This meeting and this dusk of ours.

Delight has taken Pain to her heart, And there is dusk and stars for these. Oh, linger, linger! They would not part; And the wild wind comes from over-seas With a new song to the olive trees.
