REMINISCENCE
Alone we walked along the ruffled sand
One evening after sunset while the glow
Of green and orange lingered in the sky:
The sea far out at ebb grew duskily
Fainter, a long thin line of misty snow,
A languid murmur only: why your hand
Fell into mine, I think we shall not know.

Fainter, a long thin line of misty snow,
A languid murmur only: why your hand
Fell into mine, I think we shall not know.
Was it the sweetness of the place that made
You fear the passing of the pleasant hour,
And pray for help as though it were for me
To stay for us that twilight by the sea?
Ah could we see again those heavens in flower!
Yet in my soul these memories will not fade,
Not though your face has lost its former power.
