ONE STAR
From brim Of golden breakers. bright.
The sun1et pou.s it's rosy wine; =
It dreams beyond the purple bills,
While one lone stas begins to shine;
sit in twilight's silver hush
And mourn the loss Of days divine
What time the bright SUI. blushing. rose,
In trailing robes OF amber light:
What time the dreamy twilight knelt,
With bowed face, at the feet OF night
The full moon biossomed like flower.
Behind the woods, afl still and bright
Pale April died. so sweet and frail,
And dswned the May times halmy hours;
The faint buds burst their emera1d cells
At touch Of silver handed showers:
Where tangled shadows decked the moss.
The shadbush spilled like stass the aowcrx
June strung her deys like jewels bright;
We sailed Ger Summers purple seas;
We sailed to Autumn's golden coast,
With sunshine bright, and petfumed breeze:
Such days the future cannot hold,
So bright and beautiful were these.
October famed upon the hills;
The tender rain sighed soft and low.
The gold and scarlet sunset woods
Burned In the mist With steady glow.
Until the birds bad down away.
And flowers were dead beneath the snow,
Hopes bright blossoms, pale and deadi
Ojoys forever flown awayl
night that swept with dusky wings
Across the splendor Of my day!
One liver star shines for me yet;
Though midnight, eau kneel and pray.
