 | Poems of Paul Hamilton Hayne |  |
TWO EPOCHS.
Lovers by a dim sea strandLooking wave-ward, hand in hand;
Silent, trembling with the bliss
Of their first betrothal kiss:
233
(Time true love can never wrong!
Gazing—faithful hand in hand,
O'er a darker sea and strand:
Ah! one lover's face is wan
As a wave the moon shines on;
But those strange tides stretched afar
Know not sun, nor moon, nor star!
