God might have had one other flower
            Nigh to fall,
And I known love at least one hour
            —Once for all.

O who shall have the barren years?
            Who the tears?
One with false bosom and cold kiss
            May have this:
But somewhere, unless love forget
            His old way,
There shall be something better yet
            —Ay, some day.
