FAIR LIFE.
FAIR Life, thou dear companion of my days— Life with the rose-red lips and shining eyes— That led'st me through my Youth's glad Paradise, And stand'st beside me still, in these dull ways My older feet must tread, the tangled maze Where cares beset me and fresh foes surprise; On the keen wind and from the far-off skies Is borne a whisper, which my heart dismays, That thou and I must part. Beloved so long, Wilt thou not stay with me, inconstant Love? Nay, then, the cry upon the wind grows strong— I must without thee fresh adventure prove; And yet it may be I but do thee wrong, And I shall find thee waiting where I rove. Poems and sonnets of Louise Chandler Moulton / [by Louise Chandler Moulton] [electronic text]
