A PALIMPSEST
...The rest
Of our life must be a palimpsest—
The old writing written there the best.
Of our life must be a palimpsest—
The old writing written there the best.
In the parchment hoary
Lies a golden story,
As 'mid secret feather of a dove,
As 'mid moonbeams shifted through a cloud:
Lies a golden story,
As 'mid secret feather of a dove,
As 'mid moonbeams shifted through a cloud:
Let us write it over,
O my lover,
For the far Time to discover,
As 'mid secret feathers of a dove,
As 'mid moonbeams shifted through a cloud!
O my lover,
For the far Time to discover,
As 'mid secret feathers of a dove,
As 'mid moonbeams shifted through a cloud!
