A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

Bliss Carman

The old eternal spring once more
 Comes back the sad eternal way,
With tender rosy light before
 The going-out of day.

The great white moon across my door
 A shadow in the twilight stirs;
But now forever comes no more
 That wondrous look of Hers.
