When do 1 want you most?
Why, dear, at morn;
When first wake and realize another day
is borni
When the first sunbeams on the sill shake
out their golden fringe,
And all the sky is tender yet, with dawn's
dull rose atinge;
When every futed blade and leaf with
49, falry gems is strung
Then Is the time ! want you most, be-

When do 1 want you most?
Why, dear, at noon:
For these enchanted meadows smile as II
II still were June,
hundred fields of poisoning fax are
blue as when / came,
The oriole flashes up the sky in narrow
lines of flame.
When the white roads are drenched with
sun, and pine-woods sweet the air.
Then is the time ! want you most, be-
cause the day is fair
Why, dear, at night:
When, in the stars that rise for both,
,,,, read your love in light;
When memory tells its rosary, and days
you did not share
Slip silent on the silken string, like beads
without a prayerl
When hrefies swing their elfin lamps to
lead my lOngings on
Then is the time I want you most, be-
cause the day is gone!
