Her frail denial at last
Swept clean away like burnt leaves in the blast,
No longer no, no, no!
But yes, forever yes, while love's red rose doth blow.
"ROSE-DARK THE SOLEMN SUNSET"
Rose-dark the solemn sunset
That holds my thought of thee;
With one star in the heavens
And one star in the sea.
On high no lamp is lighted,
Nor where the long waves flow,
Save the one star of evening
And the shadow star below.
Light of my Life! the darkness
Comes with the twilight dream;
Thou art the bright star shining,
I but the shadowy gleam.
"WINDS TO THE SILENT MORN"
Winds to the silent morn;
Waves to the ocean;
Voice to the song unsung;
Song to emotion;
Light to the golden flower;
Bird to the tree;
Love to the heart of love,
And I to thee!
Dawn to the darkened world;
Hope to the morrow;
