FACTS.
TO A.M.
Fair weather, gold and strength!
The first for the spirit's sake,
Gold for the virtue in gold,
Strength to live strongly; and so,
Touch the best that life can, and have part
With the lion, the serpent, the dove.

Fair weather, gold and strength;
That all men are free to take,
That no man is loth to hold,
For the bounteous years as they go
Bring nothing in gifts, say the wise,
To be counted or reckon'd above.

Fair weather, gold and strength!
And, dear, when I dream or wake,
Safe in my spirits fold
These things have a place; for, you know,
My blue is your eyes, my gold is your hair,
And my strength is your love.
