A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
To An Absent Loved One.

Like the dusk wind in the pine trees
Were the songs you sang to me; -
Fresh each morning as the dawn breeze
Your awakening seemed to be;
Your step held the zephyrs fieetness,
And your voice the Sea-wind's sweetness.
Day beheld it's moonlight captured
In your wealth of sunny hair;
And nights moonlight Wed, enraptured,
With your skin, so soft and fair.
Wind and light In you combining
Keep me for yotir presence pir1ins.
